Good morning,
The forecast for Whitewater calls for flurries and a high temperature of about nineteen.
Our school district will hold a public listening session this afternoon, on charter schools. Here’s the announcement in full:
Dear Members of the Whitewater Community:
As we continue exploring building a 21st century learning community, we are ready to look more closely at each of the variety of options that were addressed in our panel discussion on December 16. Included in that discussion were charter schools, curriculum foci in the areas of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), world languages, entrepreneurship, and post secondary educational opportunities. We will specifically be looking at charter schools at our next listening session as this option is the most time sensitive due to application deadlines.
We have invited back the two statewide experts, Mr. Barry Golden from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction and Mr. John Gee from the Wisconsin Charter Schools Association, to continue to share specifics related to charter schools.
Please consider attending on Tuesday, January 26 from 4:00-6:00 at the University of Wisconsin Whitewater University Center (UC) upstairs ballroom. Free parking is available in Lot 7.
We look forward to having you continue this exploration with us.
Sincerely,
Suzanne M. Zentner, Ph.D. Mary Whitrock
District Administrator Curriculum/Staff Development Coordinator
