Dr. Underwood's Meeting Schedule regarding the Fiscal Year 2010 budget

Dr. Underwood is planning to meet individually with each school staff and community regarding the Fiscal Year 2010 budget. All meetings are open to the public, so feel free to attend whichever meeting best suits your schedule.

Let's stay informed as parents and make a united stand to support the standards of excellence that our children currently receive and so deserve at our schools. The schools operate on a shoestring budget right now and are facing significant budget cuts this year to the tune of $640K. The proposed 15% budget cut for next year will be devastating and will affect every single current and future child in the Goochland County School System! Please consider attending a meeting to hear more on how these budget cuts will impact YOUR child and the future of Goochland County!

The dates and times for these informal meetings are as follows:

Nov. 9 at the GHS PTA meeting at 7 p.m. (in the Auditorium)
Nov. 10 at Byrd Elementary at 3:30 p.m.
Nov. 12 at Goochland High at 1:20 p.m.
Nov. 16 at Goochland Middle at 3:30 p.m.
Nov. 17 at Goochland Elementary at 3:15 p.m.
Nov. 23 at Randolph Elementary at 3:30 p.m.

Please pass along these dates to fellow Goochland County residents.

Thanks,
Elizabeth Dowdy
GES PTA President
