Spring Break!

Our first meeting of the School Board appointed committee to explore options for the future of Brunson was like an early LTM. We talked in and around many issues as members learned each others communication styles. Discussions were focused on the long term future of Brunson. Several sites that emerged were the YWCA, Cook, Wiley and several downtown land tracts. Darrell Walker, our WSFCS Superintendent of Facilities, will be at our next meeting to add his expertise of what is and is not possible. We also discussed the balance of neighborhood student enrollment and the magnet program. Two of the board members were clear that residents should have priority in enrollment. This is a topic that will be discussed in future meetings as we have committed to keeping our magnet applicants and enrolling all residential students for next year.

The building is open until 4:30 daily this week yet Wednesday is the last work day. Please enjoy the break and recharge for a Phenomenal Fourth Quarter.
