And the winner is....

Today I received a flyer from our Elementary school saying that the School Board had dropped the boundary issue from its agenda for tonight's meeting and that the students who were previously told they might have to attend a different school next year will get to stay where they are - at least for the time being! (See posts on Feb. 20th and Feb. 22nd) A member of the PTA Board said that the school board is also going to give our school money to expand the cafeteria that will allow for more room during the lunch hour and bring in more portables to house the overflow of students for the upcoming 2006-2007 school year. The issues of overcrowding will still be a major one come Fall 2006, but for the time being our children will be able to continue their education at their current school and hopefully get a reprieve from the boundary change at least for another year or two. My hope is that the school board will not just table this issue but continue to work on it. Become educated about it. Explore some other alternatives and options for it and realize the great need for expansion in this growing area of Mobile.
