Parents have three oppotunities left to speak to the School Board, Mr. Kimball and Staff this school year. They are "waiting" to hear frrom you. |
Only three school board meetings are left for public comment this school year after Spring Break: April 4, 5:30pm [scratch], April 18 (5:00) May 2 (7:00pm) [time changed again], and May 16 (5:30pm), June 6th (5pm), June 20 (7pm) [meeting added] all are on a Monday. The 5:00 pm time isn't convenient for most working parents with children, but that's what the Administration and Board scheduled. For some reason, the meetings were originally set for 7PM but then rescheduled for the dinner hour.
There's lots of stuff going on right now in the District:
- Modernization of Rose Hill Junior and others
- STEM School curriculum decisions
- STEM School site location, busing and traffic Public Hearing
- Redmond High and Eastlake High additions/remodeling
- Class reconfiguration to 9-12 / 6-8
- [Budget Public Hearing, August 8.]
On April 5 and 6th at 7pm, the Administration will hold a public meeting at Rose Hill Junior High cafeteria to address "remodernization" of Rose Hill JH. Notice of the meeting was given to the bordering homes but if you have questions the meeting is open to the public.
If you're interested in commenting on the STEM School land use project, location, and traffic - a good meeting for input is the April 5 Hearing (6-8pm) at Alcott El. Details and Directions. If you have any questions or need directions for any of the meetings contact Kathryn Reith at kreith@lwsd.org .
Email is often a convenient way to communicate to the Board. The Administration is creating an email address for writing to all Board members at once. Chip Kimball emailed today: "We are going to be putting that in place."
