A meeting will be held with superintendent Polly Crowley on Friday, March 24th at 5 pm at the District office on Argonne. Parents interested in either continuation of the AP program or wishing to express a viewpoint regarding gifted education or the way this matter has been handled in secrecy should attend.

Update: A group of parents and administrators met to discuss the AP and Running Start issues. It was, as the superintendent described it, "a real eye opener" regarding a breakdown in internal and external communications at the school and district. Gene Sementi will take ownership of a developing a plan to improve, strengthen and promote the AP program. Parents called the meeting and largely ran the meeting. Parents will establish a follow up meeting to proceed to the next steps.

The issue over what happens to classes next fall remains unresolved until all the registrations are turned in. Barb Hahto said that AP courses have never been "not offered" due to low enrollment, although the administration is still sticking by it's desire to avoid low enrollment AP courses. We hope that promotion will be used to increase enrollments rather than just "not offering" low enrolled courses.
