PTA Mtg and County Council Meeting tonight

Hi All,

We will have  PTA Meeting tonight at 6:30 with Chip Bullen, Annapolis High School Sports Boosters President, speaking at the start of the meeting at 6:30 pm in the Bates Media Center.

The meeting's agenda includes:

  • Principal DeRoo's report
  • Treasurer Report
  • Approval of Minutes
  • Recap of Bates 5K and Art Auction and Multi-Cultural Night
  • Election of 2014-2015 PTA Executive Board
  • Upcoming end-of-the-year events

ALSO TONIGHT:  Tonight is the Anne Arundel County Council Public Budget Hearings starting at 7 pm in the Arundel Center, 44 Calvert St., Annapolis, 21401.  Issues of interest to the Annapolis Cluster are support of full funding of the Capital Budget and Operating Budgets including Special Program continued funding for Programs of Choice (IB, PVA, Stem), Bilingual Facilitators, Later Start Times, and Teacher Salaries. While the number of children in our county schools continues to grow, the traditionally tight school budgets are not rising sufficiently to keep pace.  If you can't attend, please write an email to the County Council; for email addresses, go to http://www.aacounty.org/CountyCouncil/Index.cfm#.U3EEG4FdW8B

Thank you for your interest in our schools!
