This is a meeting for members of the community to share their opinions, comments and concerns concerning the topic of the elementary school configuration. This is the only issue under discussion at this meeting.
The format of this meeting is one of sharing opinions and concerns. This is NOT a question-and-answer meeting. There will not be a Q&A session. Speakers can articulate their opinions on any thread that is related to the elementary school configuration topic but there is not an expectation of a Q&A exchange with other members of the audience or the district board. Please see the myriad of Q&A threads that have been generated to date in your handout materials or on the district website.
