SCHOOL BOARD VOTE ON THE BUDGET IS TUESDAY, 5/24
Public comment begins around 7:15 pm; Budget vote will be closer to 8:30 or 9 pm.
Blanchard Education Service Center, 501 N. Dixon Street
After the budget hearings last week, *all* the board members indicated support for the addition of $100,000 “as a placeholder to begin implementation of recommendations to improve services for TAG students in partnership with the TAGAC.”
The money they've penciled in is a fraction of what is needed, but will add one TAG TOSA (teacher on special assignment) to help with professional development and support.
We won’t even get that unless they vote to confirm it! Let’s keep the pressure on—please email board members or come to the board meeting with signs: “FUND TAG PROGRAMS,” “STRONG NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS NEED STRONG TAG SERVICES.”
Thanks for all you’ve done to help the School Board understand the sorry state of PPS TAG services. Your voices have begun to make a difference.
