Index of SPPS Budget Discussion http://www.e-democracy.org/stpaul/spps-posts.html _________________________________________
The NEAT Board has decided to weigh in on the "Commission the Commissioner" question at the Senate Education Hearing on Thursday, April 1.
cf: NEAT > Upcoming Events > Legislative Committee Meetings Testimony will focus on principled leadership and be provided as the NEAT Board, not all Saint Paul parents; HOWEVER, this is an opportunity for the broader community to have input. If you would like to share your views, please send an email by the end of the day Wednesday. When doing so, please indicate your connection to the Saint Paul schools (e.g., Tom Minder, parent and Site Council at L'Etoile du Nord); OR, clearly indicate if you want your comments carried forward anonymously. ALL input will be compiled and submitted to the committee. Any/all available are encouraged to attend. ALSO NEAT is planning a public forum on the local impacts of the No Child Left Behind legislation on Tuesday, April 20. cf: NEAT > Upcoming Events Flyer attached. Please distribute widely. If you are aware of any impacts at your children's schools, please send a separate email with "NCLB" in the subject line (pros and cons, as you see them), and ask any pressing questions. This will help us tailor the event to meet local needs. ALSO There are a number of relevant community-based events coming up posted at NEAT > Upcoming Events > Community Events The information provided at the "Minnesota's Future: Are we on the right path?" workshop is essential for those concerned about budget reductions and education funding. Parent groups and Site Councils should seriously consider sending a representative to attend one of the workshops and report back. FINAL NOTE Please mark your calendar for the May 10 NEAT General Assembly. We will be reviewing Action Plan and electing new officers for next year. Details in the attached flyer.
