Middle School Discussion
J. Guerra made a motion to maintain the middle school program.
Y. Jones seconded the motion.
- Christa abstained due to conflict of interest
- Board members discussed the notes provided from 8th grade parent meeting
- Michelle, Jesus and Christa shared parent feedback as well from our perspective as we meet with the 8th grade families.
- Motion did not pass with majority, but also there is not a majority to remove middles school program. Program stays intact as is since there is not enough votes to remove program.
