BOE meets at RCF

Last night, the board of education came to Rock Creek Forest to hear presentations from the BCC cluster schools. Many members of the Student Government Association with support from Srta. Garcia gave tours to members of the BOE who came early.

Then, each school had five minutes to present about their programs, achievements and challenges.It was interesting to hear many of the common themes: over-crowding and staff reductions, chief among them.

When I had an opportunity to testify, I shared a power point illustrating our challenges and our successes.

BOE Presentation

Many thanks to Craig Brown, Jack Hauser, and Joy White, our cluster coordinators, who organized the event, the many Rock Creek Forest parents, teachers and staff who came out to support their school and, as always, the building service team.

Gazette recognizes needs of BCC Cluster Schools

It was with great relief that I read today's Gazette. The dire over-crowding conditions at Rock Creek Forest seem to finally be getting the attention they deserve.

Follow the link below to the article which quotes extensively from me, Amanda Waugh and fellow RCF parent, Craig Brown, who is also a BCC Cluster coordinator.

Next Steps? Keeping the pressure on the county and the state to fund our modernization. Stay tuned...
