You Matter! April 8th District Meeting

Big News!

Our district meeting is on April 8th at 3pm sharp! We will have 15 minutes to make a huge impact on the district and answer any questions that they have. It is held at the Ed Center at 4100 Normal Street.

For our meeting we are looking for one potential parent, one potential student, and a community member to stand and present to the board for 2 minutes each. Who would like to volunteer for this?

Everyone wear the color BLUE so that we stand out as a community at the meeting! The more the better. Numbers count big time here. Parents, children, friends, supporters, all are needed and welcome!

Also, have your children make signs (8 1/2 by 11) supporting the school so that audience members can hold them up during the presentation.

This just in from Lisa at the Charter Association

The meeting begins at 3:00 but the first 30 minutes are for public hearing for items not on the agenda. This is supposed to be limited to 30 minutes but the new Board Pres. has been letting everybody speak. Last board meeting that was 45 minutes or they may have no speakers. Then they do district reports etc. and then action items so even once the agenda is posted you really don't know what time to be there. Basically your item can come up between 3:30-6:00. People need to be aware of this and your speakers need to commit from 3:00 to however late it takes.

Please put this on your calendar today and email back to let me know that you're in!
