[WardFive] Opportunities to weigh in on planned school closures


Dear Ward 5 neighbors,
 
DCPS school closures will be announced on Tuesday Nov. 13th.  If you would like to voice your opinion about DCPS's announcement, there will be hearings on Nov. 15th and 19th.  See the bottom of this email to find out how to sign up to participate.
 
Also, the Ward Five Council on Education will be meeting the following Tuesday, Nov. 20th from 6:30-8:00pm at the Lamond-Riggs Library (5401 South Dakota Ave. NE) regarding the pending school closures.  Our special guest for this month will be our Ward 5 Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie.
 
We hope that all community stakeholders, students, parents, and educators will attend. We look forward to having an open and honest discussion that will allow us to develop a comprehensive plan that is best for the Ward 5 community and our public schools.
 
Sincerely,
 
Shelagh Bocoum
Public Relations Officer
Ward Five Council on Education
