Parents of Advanced & Gifted Students Speaking Before the Board of Education

Please pass this invite on to other parents and supporters of gifted students!

Please join us at the 7:00 PM Board of Education meeting on November 21, 2011 in the Harrison Room at the Rochester Community Schools Administration Building, 501 W. University, Rochester, Michigan 48307.

Some parents of advanced and gifted students in the district will be sharing their experiences with the School Board in order to inform of both successes and failures in meeting the needs of high achievers in our district.

We need your voice!  If you are willing to speak before the Board of Education, please fill out the Rochester Community Schools Public Comment Placement form and email it to Christine Keener at ckeener@rochester.k12.mi.us before Tuesday, November 15.  This is a great opportunity to make your voice heard in the company of other parents who want the right education for their children!  If you will join us in speaking, please add a comment to this post or send me an email at RochesterSAGE (at) live.com.

If you prefer not to speak publicly, please come support us in the audience.  We encourage you to bring your children so that the Board can see who is being impacted.  Typically the Board also has a Chat With the Board starting at 6:30 PM.  This is a good opportunity for you and your children to meet a couple members of the Board and informally talk with them about gifted education or other concerns.

Public comment should be over by 7:30 PM, at which point feel free to leave.

I hope to see you there!  Let’s make our voices heard!

Together we can make a difference for advanced & gifted students!
