Important T/E School Board Finance Committee Meeting

Monday, May 7 at 7:00 p.m.
T/E Administrative Offices:
940 West Valley Road, Suite 1700, Wayne

The Finance Committee of the T/E School Board will meet to discuss and vote on potentially necessary and highly controversial strategies to cover the remaining $1.5 million budget deficit projected for 2012-2013.  Please plan to attend the meeting to hear about the current budget status and the cost reductions currently under consideration, including larger class sizes and teacher demotions.  Then share your opinions/concerns/solutions either at the meeting or send an email to the School Board.  How should the School Board cover this deficit, while also facing rapidly rising deficits projected in coming years?  How did this happen in T/E?  How can our excellent schools survive this fiscal crisis intact? This will be the last Finance Committee meeting before the final budget must be approved, so make your voice heard!  Visit the TESD website for more budget information and to find out when you can tune in to T/E TV to view recent meetings. Contact Elizabeth Castleman at epcastleman@earthlink.net.

The PTO needs your help!  
We are looking for a few volunteers to take charge of a new Beautification Committee.  We are hoping to add some colorful flowers and do some sprucing up of the landscape around the school.  If you enjoy gardening and are
looking for a way to help make VFMS a brighter place for our kids, this is the committee for you.  If you are interested in either chairing the committee or simply donating some time or plantings to this effort, please email me at vfmsptopresident@gmail.com.
