Show school council talks communication A sparse group showed up for the July monthly meeting of the School Community Council where methods for improving school communications was the major topic discussed. In order to open up more direct channels between the School Board, Administration, Teachers, and students, parents and the public, the Council decided to publish a monthly newsletter to send home with students. Park High Principal Mark Simmons was assigned to handle the first such publication in September. It will include such items as important School Board events, monthly calendars for both schools, news about students, teachers, and the PTA. Additionally, the council felt that since the Marsac Community Council did such a good job compiling a school handbook, Park High might benefit from such a council. Simmons said when school . starts, he'll organize organ-ize a similar group. School Board meetings have been changed to the second Tuesday of every month, since the budget is compiled by computer each month, and it won't be ready for perusal until the second Tuesday. |
