Ms. Heffron's Letter April 3, 2008

Welcome back. While I hesitate to jinx it, initial appearances are that Spring Break may have provided healing time from those icky bugs that were going around. I want to think we are emerging from the winter temperatures so I will do one last Lost and Found display and then donate things that are not claimed by the end of next week.

Notes:

• Snow Day Make Up: To compensate for the snow days that we had, students will attend school for the morning only of May 14^th. Dismissal will be at 11:50.
• April 16^th: Late Start Collaborative time. 9:15 student start
• Fishing Clinic: The Wisconsin Council of Sport Fishing is hosting one hour clinics on Saturday, April 12^th. Further information is available at http://dnr.wi.gov/fish/kidsparents/learningopportunities.html
• From Katherine Murray, Cumberland PTO-School Board Liaison:

On Wednesday, April 9, in room 47 at Whitefish Bay High School at 7:00 p.m. the Whitefish Bay School Board will be receiving public comment on the proposed 2008-09 Budget Adjustment Plan. Should you have comments, suggestions or questions, this would be the time to attend as the budget adjustment plan will be voted on at a Special School Board Meeting on April 23. The proposed adjustment plan can be viewed on the school district's website under School Board, the Current Meeting Notes.

The Regular Business Meeting will immediately follow the School Board Listening Session. During the Information Reports/Discussion Items portion of the agenda a proposed process and timeline for review of the School District Facilities Study Committee report will be presented. This report is available on the school district's website on the bottom left hand side of the home page. The charge to the committee included:

• Review of school district and community needs for curricular, athletic and recreational indoor facilities in light of current and future needs.
• Develop a comprehensive plan based on any identified needs for remodeling, repurposing and adding to facilities on school district campuses.
• Consider implications of facilities use by other community agencies, organizations and groups.

After a thorough review of the report, the School Board could decide to bring a referendum to the community in April 2009.

Room 47 is accessed easily from the rear parking lot. The agenda is available on the School Board website.
