Middle school vote postponed to Feb. 13
School board, parents say they need time to understand the reform plan Tuesday, Jan. 9, 2007
A middle school reform package discussed by the county school board on Tuesday would train teachers and principals, revise the curriculum, increase the use of technology and seek to improve communication with parents.
The board will vote on the package and a policy guiding middle school education on Feb. 13, the same day it will vote on Superintendent Jerry D. Weast’s proposed $1.98 billion fiscal 2008 budget.
Parents and board members still have questions about the three-year, $10 million reform package. Parents argued that it is too vague, and said delaying a vote would allow parents and the school board more time to fully understand the initiative.
