Regarding School Closure and Consolidation
On Wed, May 17 at 5:30, at the administration center on 3rd and Lander, the advisory committee will be releasing their first round of suggested closures. We encourage Arbor Heights parents to show, for the first hour, and hold up signs in support of Arbor Heights.
MAY MEETING SCHEDULE CHANGES
Regarding School Closure and Consolidation
The Community Advisory Committee (CAC) on School Facilities and Programs announced an updated schedule for the second round of Town Hall meetings to discuss school consolidation and closure.
"The discussion on school consolidation and closure is extremely important,"
said co-chairs Ken Alhadeff and Mona Bailey. "The community has been very helpful in providing input to the CAC. In order to thoughtfully consider the full range of community comments, the CAC has decided to deliberate for an additional week before presenting preliminary recommendations to the community."
The CAC heard a tremendous amount of feedback from the community during the Town Hall meetings held in April. More than 650 parents, teachers, and interested community members participated, contributed comments and shared their ideas.
The next five Town Hall meetings in May will provide additional opportunities for the community to give input on specific recommendations before the CAC makes its final recommendations to the Superintendent. Their recommendations will affect school closures and consolidations for the 2007-08 school year.
The previous meeting dates on May 11, May 13 (morning and afternoon), May 15 and May 17 have been cancelled.
The new May meeting dates are:
