We were fortunate to have a very strong and diverse applicant pool, and want to thank everyone who applied. Unfortunately, in order to stay within the parameters of a working committee the Board of Education was not able to select all of those who volunteered.
The committee will consider the following two questions:
1) From an instructional and financial perspective, should the board of education consider creating a Pre-K – 12 grade program in the Morrisville-Eaton Middle-High School and closing the Edward R. Andrews Elementary School?
2) What does the school community desire in an educational program that will successfully prepare all students for their future and what strategic initiatives should be implemented to achieve these goals?
The study will be facilitated by Castallo and Silky Educational Consultants. The role of the committee will be to: a) work closely with the consultants in an advisory capacity as representatives of the school/community, b) serve as key communicators between the consultants and representative constituent groups from the school/community, c) serve as a sounding board for tentative recommendations prior to presentation to the Board of Education, and d) provide any and all possible support requested by the Board of Education.
The scheduled meetings will be from 6 to 8:30 p.m. on the following days: April 23, May 15, June 11, July 23, Aug. 20, Sept. 17, Oct. 1 – (Committee reviews draft report), Oct. 15 – (Report presented to the Board of Education).
If you have any questions about the District Advisory Committee or the efficiency study, please contact Michael Drahos, Superintendent or Jackie Groves, Board President at mdrahos@m-ecs.org or boardofed@m-ecs.org.
