Rivergold P.T.A.

On Monday, February 9^th at 6:30 p.m. in the Coarsegold School Multipurpose Room the School Board will meet.  All parents and teachers are encouraged to attend.  As you know the state budget is a mess.  The board is considering the impact of the budget and its affect on our school and staff.  Staffing and program cuts are a strong possibility.    

What can we do? 

ATTEND THE BOARD MEETING–be informed on how the state budget is affecting Rivergold.  Think about ideas you may have about program modifications or reductions.  Express your ideas (there is a time for public comments).

BE FAMILIAR WITH THE AGENDA–You can find a copy of it at the Yosemite Unified School District website here…
