2 Important Meetings on Thursday, March 3

[Parker PTO]

Parents - Here is the agenda that was posted tonight for the HISD BOE meeting this week.  The significant part of this is that it is a first reading of new magnet policy.  I do not believe this is board policy buy HISD admin generated policy.  The special meeting for a first reading this week before a monthly meeting means this is fast tracked for a vote.   The first chance parents will have to learn about specific recommendations is Thursday night.  Parents will have to register during the Hearing of Citizens to speak after learning about the recommendations moments before.   What do you think about this?

THE PARKER PTO MEETING WILL  BE HELD AT 8:15 ON THURSDAY MORNING AT THE SCHOOL.  Please attend to hear the latest news on what's happening with Magnet recommendations, HISD budget for 2011-12, the Parker Auction, Field Day, and more.

And a meeting at the district office on Thursday evening....
