Board of Ed meeting TONIGHT (Monday) at Grant 7 PM

[Betsy Voinovich]

Here's the latest agenda from Treasurer Tim Penton.

What immediately jumps out at me is Agenda item V, the Superintendent's Report, under B: Five Year Forecast. And C: Facilities Master plan.

If you didn't attend last week's community meeting at Grant, announcing the very good news about the rebuilding of our THREE remaining elementary schools and finishing Lakewood High School, this would be a good meeting to attend to hear about the details.

The Five Year Forecast will also be interesting. Further down the list you will see "Resolution to Adopt Five-Year Financial Forecast and Educational Plan for Fiscal Years 2014 through 2018 (Request Approval on One Reading)"

This is a mouthful-- from hearing about the Five Year Forecast to approving an Educational Plan for the next 4 years in one reading. I don't understand why something this important and potentially worthy of discussion in the community would require one reading, and then approval on the same night.

I'm sure that reason will be given tonight and is another really good reason to attend.
