Good morning,
As you know, the Board of Education elections are around the corner. These are important elections because they can change the make-up of the board, the view-point on ability grouping, redistricting and Joshua Starr’s performance. A website has been put together www.keepgrouping.org which I encourage you to explore.
Two of the candidates, Jerry Pia, Republican and Polly Rauh, Democrat are hosting private events to specifically talk to parents on 10/13 and 10/14. Both of these candidates approached us on the ability grouping issue and would like to hear from us directly. Even if your children are not directly affected yet, they will be soon. The change to only 2 groups in Middle School has significantly changed the education of many of our children. If you would like to attend, you can get more details and rsvp on the website.
Thank you.
