Today is the last day to email the school board secretary to register to speak at the public hearing on Wednesday, January 30th. We are urging all residents to register to speak and advocate for the district’s successful elementary education model by keeping all seven schools open.
The more residents that register, the more powerful the public record.
Please register today to have your voice be heard.
ALL NON-PEEBLES PARENTS, please make the following statement before you begin your remarks: “I AM NOT A PEEBLES PARENT, I AM AN [INGOMAR] PARENT.”
Each parent that makes this statement will help remind the board that this proposal impacts 3,500+ elementary students– not just the students at Peebles Elementary.
To register to speak at the hearing, you simply need to email Rose Mary Ryan, Board Secretary, at rryan@northallegheny.org and state, “I would like to register to speak at the public hearing on January 30th. Please confirm receipt.” This will meet the requirement of a “formal written request.” You will have 5 minutes to make your statement and no questions will be asked of you.
You must register before 3pm.
Please note: If you have addressed the school board in the past, none of your prior comments are included in the public record for the hearing. To have your comments be part of the public record for closing the school, you must speak at the public hearing. You do not have to come up with a new topic, a new subject, or even new words– please feel free to use notes or content from your past statements.
Advocate for all 3,500+ elementary students in the district by telling the school board to keep Peebles Elementary open!
The redistricting that the administration has recommended also includes middle schools, thus impacting ALL middle schools as well.
North Allegheny School District, January 22, 2013: “If a school closure were to occur for the 2013/2014 school year, the Administration would recommend a redistricting scenario that would affect both elementary and middle schools.”
