CHPSPO Meeting November 19 at Ludlow-Taylor

Dear Capitol Hill Public Schools Parent Organization members,

We will have our November CHPSPO meeting on Tuesday, November 19 at Ludlow-Taylor (659 G Street, NE) starting at 6:30 p.m.

We will spend the bulk of the meeting discussing the effort underway to overhaul the city’s school boundaries and feeder patterns. Please share with your school communities the attached Focus Group Flyer announcing the focus groups the Deputy Mayor for Education’s office is holding to get parent and community input on school boundaries and feeder patterns. The focus groups are not ward specific, so you may attend any of the focus groups. However, the focus group that will be held in Ward 6 is on December 10 at the Logan building. You must register in order to attend a focus group.

We will also be discussing the attached Priciples that Unite Us. These principles were developed by the American Federation of Teachers, and are being endorsed by the Washington Teachers’ Union and Empower DC. Please take a look at the attachment to see if you believe these are principles CHPSPO can support.

Finally, the annual School Information Night will be held on Sunday, December 8, from 2 – 5 p.m. If your school is interested in participating, but has not yet registered, please contact E.V. Downey at dcmusicteacher@gmail.com.

Hope to see you on Tuesday.

Suzanne Wells
