One year planning period
Reportedly, 50+ people were at a PPS meeting on the North Side last evening to discuss proposed school closings. Many of the attendees called for a one year public planning period before additional schools are closed. A planning period and complete information would also be a good idea before the district commits to major capital and programmatic expenditures.

Not one parent from the school there- not mentioned by this blog. Are you seriously surprised?
How do you know that none of the 50+ people reported to be at the meeting were parents? Who then are these people that are concerned about the north side schools?
Really, nobody has any standing to be fed up with pure reform. Those folks are volunteers. Nobody awarded pure reform a grant to keep operating and that some with no kids in school continue to offer the forum is surprising.
I want to hear more from fed up. Surely the 50 in attendance were not all friends of Mark Brentley and therefore, most likely concerned staff came out in a big way.
Word is that the north side has been offered a deal allowing them to keep one of the schools proposed to be closed, if they agree not to come out to come out to the public hearing in favor of a planning period.
