This just appeared on the EMID Facebook page today: “The EMID School Board will be holding a community input session on Wednesday, September 14 at 5:30 PM at Crosswinds. The purpose of input session is to afford stakeholders an opportunity to provide input to the school board regarding the future of EMID, Harambee, and Crosswinds.”

As explained by the chair of the board a few days ago, those board members who can attend will spend 20-30 minutes informing the community of the three options they are looking at and the process ahead. Then the community participants will split into small groups and put their responses onto giant post it sheets around the room, highlighting the most important things the board should think about as it makes its decision among the three options. In other words, this will be more of a work session than talk back session. Of course, the details of this agenda are subject to change and up to the board, so don’t be surprised if it is set up a bit differently than described here.

In any case, if you can make it to this input session on 9/14, please do!

And don’t forget, one week later on 9/21 at 5pm at Harambee the EMID board will be meeting and welcoming community members to address the board in the regular “public forum” segment of the board meeting.
