Thank you to all who came to Shaky's and/or attended the board meeting. The turnout was great!
At the board meeting about 20 teachers spoke - five of them from Gab. Gab teachers spoke on the class size ratio being changed, the science TOSA being eliminated and alternative arts programs at the elementary schools. Many other teachers spoke on the elimination of intervention teachers, declining enrollment numbers that we are feel are wrong, and the costly MIE program (about $2000 per kid!)
All in all, it was a successful meeting and I felt like we were heard. In the end, the board agreed to cross of eliminating 4 elementary teachers and revisiting the budget for the MIE program.
As always, if you have any SGTA concerns, please see Chanda or me.
