We received an email from a concerned parent regarding the upcoming school year asking us to post the following concerns.
1. Who will be the "intermediate school" principal(4th thru 8th grades)? Will it be Bill Ferrara, he just received a nice raise? Or wil it be Laurie Ruffing? But wait, she was only extended till 8/31/09 as acting elementary principal. So as it stands when school begins we do not have an elementary or intermediate school principal.
2. Regarding the 21st century grant clubs and activities. Will they be extended up to and including 8th grade? New for this year the PTO will be extended up to and including the 8th grade. Great foresight on their part(PTO). We sure wish the powers that be would think ahead like this.
3. Sports- Do we call them "middle school" sports or "intermediate school" sports? What grades are going to be included? Will it be 4th thru 8th grades, or will it remain as is at just 7th and 8th grades?
What questions do you have regarding the upcoming school year? Perhaps the board could address these issues prior to the first day of school.
And a reminder: The next school board agenda meeting is scheduled to be on 8/19, and the regular school board meeting is scheduled for 8/26. Both meetings start at 7:30 pm.
