Mark your calendars for these interesting events.
First, learn why divestiture and program relocation is moving very slowly. And why Supt Sicoli thinks it should be slowed further. You should probably attend if you think these tasks should be expedited and not delayed.

Second, learn how best to inform and arm twist your local legislators. I am pretty sure this is intended to be used to raise school funding. However, advocacy is advocacy and it may be interesting for everyone.

I would suggest that these "community organizers" (the LAC) should be watched for signs of simple-minded "more money will improve education" simple-mindedness. It's one thing to say we have this program or that which will improve education, and it needs funding. Those should be taken and perhaps funded on their merits. If THAT is the case, then you should ask them how they/we should establish PRIORITIES for funding. What are they willing to NOT do in the District so that this better thing can be done?
