Dear Community Members,
On behalf of the Board of Education I would like to request your
participation in the Pawling School District Budget Communications
Committee. Your participation in this committee would be greatly
appreciated and provide the school community with the input necessary to
communicate current budgetary issues.
Below you will find a description of this committee:
The Pawling Board of Education and the Superintendent of Schools are
initiating a budget communications committee to discuss areas of concern
of the public and components of the school district budget. This
committee will seek community members from every facet of the Pawling
Central School District to participate in a discussion. Elected
officials, public service agencies, religious leaders and concerned
community members are urged to participate. It is hoped that these
participants will carry the information from the meetings to the
community groups they represent; resulting in stronger bonds between the
schools and the community. The format will be a round table conversation
focused on pre-determined topics of discussion. Each meeting will
provide opportunity for new questions to be asked and placed on the
agenda of future meetings.
The first meeting of this group will be on November 28, 2006 and will be
held in the Pawling Elementary School Multipurpose Room. If you would
like to participate in this discussion please contact the school
district office at 855- 4600, and allow us to prepare enough materials
for all who wish to participate. Five meetings are scheduled to date:
* Tuesday, November 28, 2006 at the Pawling Elementary School
Multipurpose Room, 7 pm
* Thursday, December 7, 2006 at the Pawling Middle School Cafeteria, 7
pm
* Tuesday, January 16, 2007 at the Pawling High School Auditorium, 7 pm
* Wednesday, February 21, 2007 at the Pawling Elementary School
Multipurpose Room, 7 pm
* Saturday, March 3, 2007 at the Lathrop Center in Lakeside Park, 10 am.
All are welcome to participate in the conversation designed to increase
information and understanding of the school budget process.
We hope that you will consider participating in this discussion and
welcome your comments. Please contact the School District Office to RSVP
your participation.
Sincerely,
Joseph Sciortino, Superintendent of Schools
