I was at my School Site Council meeting today for Ridgemoor Elementary. A school board member was present and asked our opinion on something. He wanted to know if they should change the Board Meeting times to later in the evening, so more people could go. Right now they start at 4:00p.m. The consensus from the 7 of us present was to keep the time the same, but post the agenda on a School Board web site, and then post the minutes from the meeting. As of now they post the upcoming meetings at each school. For the most part these meetings are not for the general public, but on occasion, a topic like the unification of the High School comes up, and alot of people are interested in going. If it is hot topic to be discussed and they get a feeling alot of people would show up, they would arrange to have it later in the evening. We vote for these people, so they need to hear our voices.
My suggestion to any one interested in being involved in their schools, is to join the PTA and the School Site Council. Or just get involved with your childs classroom.
