IMPORTANT Howell Board of Education Meeting Jan. 7

The BOE is holding a Special Meeting on Wednesday, Jan 7th at 8pm at Middle School North. On the agenda for that night is a discussion on putting the closing of school(s) on a referendum. If they do put it out as a referendum that would then be voted on by the Howell Residents on March 10th. If this does happen then the Board will have to keep all of Howell Schools open if the referendum is passed. We need every PTA / PTO to get as many of its members out to the meeting to try and have this issue of school closings be placed on as a referendum vote. Remember every school will be affected thru either closings and or redistricting. Even by the scenarios that were presented they are looking at minimum the following schools Ardena, Southard, Griebling, Memorial, MSN, MSS & Newbury could possibly be affected directly not including the redistricting at the rest of the schools.
