Boundary Update:
Principle Turner has provided information about the school board. This is where your voice will be heard the most. The Board will make the final vote in January or February. Nothing is finalized yet. There will be a chance for more voices to be heard at this meeting.
Primary elected official for our school is Sheronne Blasi
As Candalaria is effected – we are over capacity at 106% enrollment. Our school was built for 317 students we bounce around 340 regularly. Districts wants to try to average out numbers to their best ability before executing the bond.
Families affected by this change voiced concerns about not having enough time to do the necessary research and get enough information out to other families for support. The families present at the meeting wanted to thank the Candalaria community for offering their support in helping during this frustrating time.
Karen Kinnett moves that Candalaria PTA takes a formal position to reject the redistricting that effects the Candalaria neighborhood. Second - Jenny Strooband
VOTE - Unanimous vote from members present (10) to have PTA president Justin Hopkins send out a message on behalf of Candalaria families to all the Board members that we (PTA) do not support the proposed boundary change. And have information sent out to Candalaria Families to please help voice concerns about this boundary change.
Budget Update– No real money changes
