Fairhope, Alabama
TIME RUNNING SHORT THIS SCHOOL YEAR
With the end of the school year rapidly approaching (May 25th) the committee studying ways the city may be able to help local schools (next year) met Monday to discus the timeline -- and establish subcommittees to make initial contact with local school principals and the city's various budget committees.
Gretchen Schapker and Henry Clark were appointed to draft a letter to the five area school principals to establish a protocol for the planned interviews/school tours. Questions for the principals were discussed -- generally how the committee/community may help their schools; and meetings with teachers/students were to be left to the discretion of the principals themselves.
Also, Bob Riggs and Julia Sumerlin were appointed as contacts to the city's financial committees during the city's FY2013 budget-forming process -- usually beginning in May or June. They are to submit the Ed. Committee's eventual findings to determine the feasibility of incorporating them into next year's city budget (beginning Oct 1st). The city council has ultimate authority over all city spending.
CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS TO BE CONTACTED
The committee decided as well to contact various school/civic organizations -- FEEF, Faulkner State, Good2Great, Baldwin Mental Health, etc. -- for their own suggestions about the needs of the local schools.
The next meeting was scheduled for Monday, April 23rd at 8:30AM (Nix Center).
