Cary, NC- In an effort to hear all parties, the newly elected School Board is holding several public meetings this week. The main subject to be discussed is the school calendar for this coming Fall.
The results of these community engagement meetings will assist the Board of Education in making decisions that may impact school calendar assignments as early as 2010-11. And may effect schools slated to open on the year-round calendar this July.
Please mark your calendars for these dates:
The community engagement meetings will be held in the high schools’ auditoriums from 6:30 – 9 p.m. If you wish to speak out, you are advised to sign up in advance. With the recent news surrounding Schools Superintendent Del Burns, expect the Board to play to packed houses – so arrive early to park and get seating.
Online pre-registration for citizens interested in speaking is now open. You can only sign up to talk at one meeting and only for 2 minutes. Speakers can also sign up to speak on site from 5:15 p.m. to 6:15 p.m. the day of the meeting. Those who sign up at the door will speak after those who pre-registered online.
