Staff Proposing Changes to Boundary Change Process

At tonight's School Board meeting, Dr. Adamo presented a draft proposal to revise the attendance boundary process. The recomendation will involve the School Board sooner in the process and allow parents to be aware of their board member's position earlier in the process. Here is the draft process:

I’m Baack!

Oops, it's been a while since I've posted anything on this blog. My goal had been to post at least twice a week, but due to work commitments and an e-mail bag that blossomed to over 1,500 at one point, I got away from posting here. Summer is over for the School Board and we're going to have a busy Fall, but this week we'll see the end of the 2008-2009 school year with the Summer School Graduation. More to follow shortly… TR
