Yosemite Unified Board Meeting February 7, 2009
Posted by jslo3 in Meetings, Uncategorized.add a comment
On Monday, February 9th 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…

CONTACT OUR STATE LEADERS–let them know that education and class reduction are priorities. You can contact them through their websites listed below (look for “Contact Me/Us” or “Email the Governor”).
DAVE COGDILL
State Senator 14th District
TOM BERRYHILL
Assemblyman 25th District

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER

GET INVOLVED—there may be big changes coming to Rivergold and the District. We all need to be informed and involved in this process.
Thanks–John Sloas, PTA Board Member

Our PTA meeting is coming up this Thursday, September 11th at 7:00 PM! We will only be having THREE association meetings this year so don’t miss out. Attending meetings is a great opportunity to be a part of deciding how the money we make fundraising should be spent on our children. It is also a place to meet new people and eat good food. This meeting is a MEXICAN FOOD POTLUCK so bring your favorite dish. Also come for a chance to win two tickets to Great America! Bring your kids, childcare is provided. Invite someone who isn’t a part of the PTA. See you there!!!
