The Middle School Task Force Academic Subcommittee voted to eliminate the self – select Challenge Program. See our meeting notes under other documentation. They will present their recommendation to the full task force, who will vote whether to change this recommendation or send it as voted by the subcommittee. The school board will receive the recommendation of the full task force for the April 26, 7 pm, school board meeting. If the school board accepts the recommendation as voted by the Academic Subcommittee, there will be no self – select challenge program beginning in 2017-18, so this decision would potentially affect students who are currently in fourth, fifth, and sixth grades.
But the School Board can choose to Save Challenge! If
you support the Challenge program, please attend the April 26, 7pm school board
meeting to express your support for challenge. We believe the school board
listens to students and will act in the students' best interests. So, please
encourage your student - students who have taken challenge, students who chose
not to take challenge and we're happy to have the choice, and elementary
students who want to have a choice when they are in middle school- to attend
and speak to the school board. Or anyone can send us their thoughts and
we will speak them on their behalf. We need to fill the board room with
challenge supporters if we want to keep this valuable program. Now is the time
to speak! April 26, 7pm!
Please browse the Save Our Challenge website if you
would like more information on this.
