Why You Should Come to the Meeting Tomorrow (3/22)

If you have NO children in the district:  You should come because there has been a tremendous amount of evidence revealing that your money is not being spent wisely. If you want to know if you can support a tax levy increase come May it is paramount that you not only know what the BOE are thinking of doing to save money but it s important for them to know whether you think the BOE is on or off target. For example, the Blue Stone Press has no idea what it is talking about when it publishes that at least 900k can be saved if a school is closed. Do not believe what you read, experience for yourself.

If you have children or grandchildren in the Middle or High School: Many of your children's teachers and teaching assistants are on the chopping block. This will impact their educational experience now and in their futures. Yet, the administration refuses to consider real cost savings among administrators. Come learn about this bottom up approach to cost savings our BOE is engaging in.

If you have children or grandchildren in an Elementary School: It is possible, despite the hard work of the advisory committee finding that there is no clear picture of the real costs, savings and educational impacts of closing a school, the BOE may still rush forward and permanently close a school. If this is not o.k. with you please come and let this be known.

If you are a teacher or staff member in the district: The bottom up approach of the BOE impacts your job whether you are on the chopping block or not. You understand the real educational impact class sizes of 26 will have in the elementary schools. You understand the need for teaching assistants. Please help the BOE, who focuses primarily on the bottom line, understand this.

TUESDAY 3/22 7:30 @ KES
