Colleagues:
Starting tonight (February 21, 2018) at Damascus High School, Councilman Craig Rice, MCPS Superintendent Jack Smith, and Montgomery College President DeRionne Pollard will host the first of five public education budget meetings. The meeting dates and locations are listed below. The forums are scheduled to last from 6:30-8:30pm.
- February 21 at Damascus High School (25921 Ridge Road in Damascus);
- February 28 at Montgomery College, Rockville Campus (Theater Arts Building – 51 Mannakee Street in Rockville);
- March 7 at John F. Kennedy High School (cafeteria – 1901 Randolph Road in Silver Spring);
- March 14 at Robert Frost Middle School (cafeteria – 9201 Scott Drive in Rockville); and
- March 19 at White Oak Middle School (cafeteria – 12201 New Hampshire Avenue in Silver Spring).
Last year members of your AAUP Executive Committee attended several of these important hearings and we hope to do the same this year. We encourage you to take some time out of your day to attend one of these meetings. These meetings are very informal, each speaker will make a presentation, and members of the audience are able to ask questions during a large portion of the meetings. If you want to hear about how budget decisions are made and the opportunities County residents will have to influence budget decisions, it would be beneficial for you to attend one of these meetings.
