Come hear what's happening at our middle schools !!!

For those of you who were unable to make my district-wide community meeting last week, the Baltimore City Public School System has proposed “transforming” Chinquapin Middle School and closing Winston Middle School as part of this year’s “Expanding Great Options” program. There are town hall meetings scheduled at both schools - parents are being notified through various school/student-based methods, but the community at large is also encouraged to attend.

The Winston meeting is scheduled for this Wednesday and the Chinquapin meeting is scheduled for this Friday, both from 6pm to 7:30pm at the respective schools. Posted here are a flier for the community meetings and two pages of details on the BCPSS recommendations for each school, with the rationale behind each recommendation – click on them to make them big enough to read…

For anyone who’d like to see the entire "Expanding Great Options" report, it is available at http://www.bcps.k12.md.us/news/PDF/EGO_Report2010_11.pdf
