Hi,

Thank you for all your efforts to spread the word to Keep 3 Junior Highs in Davis! This is a summary of my e-mails since last Thursday, please pass it on.

TUESDAY, Mar. 18, 4 pm -

Rally to Keep 3 Junior Highs, Central Park
Students are encouraged to speak
Sandy Batchelor and Joan Crow have contacted TV stations
We hope for a really big turnout!
Let me know if you want flyers or posters to distribute (especially to Harper & Holmes Jr. Highs).

THURSDAY, Mar. 20, 7 pm (get there early though so you don't have to sit outside the Chambers)

School Board Meeting
Students are encouraged to speak
Agenda is here. (Thanks to Andrea Weiss for distributing this.)
click on "Jr. High Consolidation" to see 5 new options the Board is considering. There are other options that are not listed (e.g. revising boundaries to make 650 students at 3 Jr. Highs, having 2 High Schools with 9th graders (one at Harper), etc.). Consider supporting only options that keep Emerson open as a regular school.
