Some things to note from this weeks Board meeting:
First, congratulations to Sophia Johnston for receiving the GFEC and GearUp2Lead Scholarship. She is a sophomore and already making strides towards her dreams.
Second, a thank you to Travis Smith and our tech department. They are not given the credit they deserve for helping to keep our entire district moving smoothly.
Third, there was some discussion of Gaines at the very end of the meeting. Last year I fought hard to keep Gaines open, which we accomplished, even adding an early learning program to the school. I’ve received emails with concerns and some very good questions. I do not have all of the answers right now, but I will say this at this time: I’ve made it clear that I have no problem with Gaines staying open as long as the school itself is in the black and as long as the general student population stays where it is or goes up.
One last note, as policy committee chairman, I’m asking for the general public to send their questions, thoughts, and concerns to me. If anyone wants to go through our policies and find something they wish to have discussed or looked at deeper, please send me your concerns at my email: [email protected].
