CHS School Improvement Team & School Board elections

[Susana Dancy]

All,

I encourage  to run for the CHS School Improvement Team.  Below is information about the function of the committee, which reports to the school board about the priorities/needs of the school.  (This info was taken from the Chapel Hill High School website.)

If you are interested in one of the three positions that are open, please send biographical information to Janet Shaheen at jlsh...@aol.com.

Perhaps more importantly, please think about who might be a good candidate to run for the school board.  None of the current school board members has children at Carrboro High School, so their understanding of Carrboro High School issues/challenges/opportunities is limited.

Susana
