Meeting Notes from the April 18, 2016 MSGRTF Are Available

Click here to read the notes several observers took at the April 18, 2016 Middle School Grade Reconfiguration Task Force Meeting. Note: The meeting members broke up into several smaller groups and moved to different rooms to continue the conversation. Observers followed them to the new rooms to take notes. Some conversations were hard to hear and notes are most likely not complete, but we do the best we can. :)

Also note that the Task force did not discuss any public comments before voting. They did not discuss the survey results (I believe they were only given the results of 2 survey questions in their document packet); they did not discuss the Save Our Challenge Document (the task force was only given the 2 page exec summary and not the whole 69 page document, I believe). So these votes are the result of having discussed no public input...
