GHSD is moving ahead with Phase Two for East Wheatland Schools

Golden Hills School Division
 
Golden Hills School Division is moving ahead with the next phase in the process to consider options for the East Wheatland area.  A working group will be formed to assist in developing concrete and feasible solutions that capture as much community support as possible. The feedback from the recent community meetings will help to provide ideas and direction for further consideration to be explored in this next phase of the process.
Part of the feedback and comments GHSD received during the community meetings involved ideas on who should make up this working group.  From that feedback, they have pulled together the following criteria:
• We are looking for some new members for this group and are encouraging people who may not have been as involved previously to put their name forward. 
• As any potential solutions must have the support of as many parents with school age or preschool children as possible.  We are hoping for very strong representation from this group.  
• There are parents who live in the East Wheatland area whose children do not attend schools there – we would like to have some representation from this group as well. 
• Representation from the broader community would also be appreciated.
GHSD is looking for at least 3 or 4 representatives from each community.  From the names submitted, a working group will be selected. Meetings with this group may begin as early as next week.   Interested individuals are asked to please contact the office of their local school by Monday, December 12th.
