Any experiences good/bad? Now that the kid is in kindergarten I'm feeling like I should be a part of the experience somehow. Will membership hurt me when I run for school board president?
DTM I would encourage you to get involved. If you hold a position on your PTA and continue to be a vertebrate, you could very well be the next school board president. I would also suggest going to the D-41 board meetings, starting with next Mondays, to listen in on how your educational tax dollars are being spent. You can say hi to your neighbor while you're there.
ohma Do you have a copy of what FGM is being asked to do for their proposed fee of $79,830? Is FGM publicly traded? I cannot attend the meeting next Monday but I find this repulsive. If we had every dime back that we spent with this company and of course a portable or six, this district would be on their way to some real building expansion/renovation projects if they become needed. Let me know the outcome.
FGM is developing the "Facility Master Plan." It was mentioned on page 3 here with the timeline shown on page 23 (but the original copy was in color so it is not easy to read).
It looks like we are behind schedule, as I see that there was supposed to be a community forum sometime around now. I haven't heard of one scheduled to occur? Conveniently, the timeline ends a month before the spring election. That would be the one in which 4 board seats are up. Question: will there be a platform on which incumbents will run?
