Let's start fresh

We are coming into the final stretch of the 2007-08 school year. There have been many discussions on the flaws in 131,and chat aboutwhat can or should be done.

A previous mention of the two well respected EA teachers retiring and the list of those planning on retiring, makes me want to hear more of the stories of the triumphs as we look towards planning for the next year.

Dr. Roberts contract is coming up next year, 4 board positions will be on the ballot, not to mention the returning of the referendum question. Many changes could happen and many things will/ should stay the same.

Some things are definitely working in some classrooms for teachers and students.
Some changes have had a very positive affect on our district.
What successes,things that are functioning well do you hope will continue?

One night, 2 opportunities-April 21st

The next Board of Education meeting will be at East High School – room 239 beginning at 6:00 p.m. The reason for the change is the district Grant Writer will be holding a grants showcase at the high school from 4-6pm.

Hopefully, this change will allow for more people to attend who may already be in attendance at the showcase.
Notice has not yet been posted on the District website, but I wanted to give people who may not otherwise attend, an advance notice, so you can take the opportunity to come.

This is a chance to see what grants have been sought and the outcome. Then come to a board meeting and hear how other business is handled in our district.

Both, the showcase & the meeting are April 21st.
