School Board Workshop Meeting May 24th

GOOCHLAND COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD WORKSHOP
MAY 24, 2011
GOOCHLAND HIGH SCHOOL
6:30 P.M.

Tonight’s meeting will include the School Board’s vote on the revised FY12 budget, including any proposed cuts to programs and teachers.

As it stands now, we are losing a part-time art teacher and a music teacher at RES, in addition to a drama and a French teacher at GMS/GHS.  Of course, this does not include any teachers we will be losing to attrition or retirement, whose positions may not be backfilled.  Also included in the proposed cuts is the elimination of the swim team.  It appears that golf is not going to receive the axe, per Mr. Mattox.  French and Latin 4^th and 5^th year are also planning to be cut.

The new GES principal may also be announced.

Please attend if you want your voices heard.  The link to the agenda follows:
