The Regional School Committee meeting scheduled for Tuesday, February 3rd has been cancelled. The next meeting of the Regional School Committee will be Tuesday, February 24th - this is when the 2009-2010 budget will be initially presented, so that would be a good meeting to attend for information about potential cuts at the middle and high school level.
A special meeting of the Amherst School Committee is now scheduled for Tuesday, February 3rd at 7:00 p.m. in the Amherst Regional High School library. The only item of business on the agenda will be to clarify the budget options to be presented at the February 10th School Committee meeting - meaning the specific financial estimates the School Committee expects to receive from the Superintendents regarding the various elementary school reconfiguration options discussed at our last meeting. This is NOT a meeting at which a vote for or against any of these options will be taken.

Why was this meeting cancelled?!
Thank you for getting this out Catherine!!!
Are the interim-Supers off cross country skiing at The Cape?
What ever became of the trespass order against Larry?
You want to talk budget issues, civil rights suits usually come in at the six figure range and not always the low six figures....
Yes, where are the superintendents? Why will there not be a regional meeting? We are worried that our kids will be in even more study halls in high school. We need to wait another month to see the budget?
I'm really sorry about the delay in the Regional Meeting -- I've heard from a lot of parents who are concerned about the regional budget (which is worse than the elementary budget), and I know they were hoping to get these numbers earlier. However, it was delayed because we were waiting for more solid numbers from the state's budget (which just got realized last week). Then, there was already an important elementary school meeting for the 10th, and then there is Winter Vacation. So, these numbers WILL be presented on the 24th, and I hope they are not as bad as we fear (including the issue of two study halls, which yes, sounds bad).
