Thanks to all who came to the town hall last night to make one of the best meetings yet possible. We had 23 people including a lot of new faces!

For those who couldn’t attend, Aaron talked about South Carolina’s Environment-based Education School Network that is being used with great success in several middle schools throughout the state. We also discussed changing our focus to a middle school or possibly one serving grades 4-8. A lot more ground was covered than I can recap in this email but I’ll work on getting minutes together for anyone interested. At next week’s meeting we will get the official steering committee in place so it’s not too late to take a leadership role.

The community meeting scheduled for the 15th has been rescheduled at the request of the Concerned Citizen’s Group. The meeting will now be held on Thursday, July 22nd, at 7:00. The meeting will still be held at Lincoln High School. Please email caperomainschool@yahoo.com with any questions.

Please join us for a community meeting at Lincoln High School on Thursday, July 15th, at 7:00. Aaron Baldwin will give a presentation outling what a charter school is and why we feel a charter school would be such a great addition to our communities. Want more information?
