There are a lot of things happening right now. There are the vouchers, Charter School Bill, and State Takeover. Personally I think one of these could really damage IPS. I can only imagine what would happen if all three of these happen.
THere are some thing happening right now that IPS has control over, and we need your input!
IPS TO HOLD MEETINGS ON BUDGET CUTS:
IPS will host two public meetings to share the need for proposed cuts to the 2012 budget. The first is Feb. 24 in the cafeteria of George Washington Community High School, 2215 W. Washington St.; the second is March 9 at Arlington Community High School, 4825 N. Arlington Ave. Both meetings begin at 6 p.m. IPS must cut $15 million from the General Fund budget. Superintendent Eugene G. White will share proposed cuts and seek community feedback on the plan.
Now, I am glad these meetings are being held. When we went through his last year I attended the budget cut meetings, and I think the parent input made a difference. However, why aren't we getting the proposal of the budget cuts before this meeting? That way we can be informed and ready to ask questions.
On another note:
It seems that the Magnet School Acceptance letters started arriving in mailboxes yesterday. Good luck to everyone.
