Dan,
At last Thursday’s Board meeting, we heard the Board and Kevin Carroll state that the HS GT program should continue and that funding should be sustainable, but without a specific plan beyond 2017-2018.
Therefore, I’d like to recommend that you form a committee to discuss and develop a sustainable funding proposal now. I recommend that you consider a committee that, as a minimum, consists of the following individuals/representatives:
- Kathleen Askelson, Finance, Chair
- Kevin Carroll, oversees District GT programs
- Griff Wirth, Wheat Ridge HS Principal
- One of the District’s HS GT Teachers (Elliott Holm or Lisa Lee)
- One member of the Wheat Ridge HS School Accountability Committee
- One HS GT parent representative
Thanks in advance for your consideration of this recommendation. I don’t think we want to go through next year what we just went through with respect to the HS GT Program.
