[Betsy Voinovich]

Hey I got the date wrong last week.

The Board of Ed meeting is TONIGHT. 7 PM at Garfield Middle School.
This is a big one, where the levy will be talked about, the sale of McKinley, and probably the revisitation of the OSFC to Lakewood-- yes-- Phase 3. This discussion would include asking the OSFC to consider 7 schools, as the Superintendent Patterson described earlier in the year. But more on that in the appropriate thread.

Start the year off right and attend a Board of Education meeting. See how it's done, see who the players are, and how the community can be involved.
