BOE Updates: Today is the last day to sign up for BOE Committees
At their organizational meeting January 4th, the board of education elected its officers:
- President Ahmed Ismail
- Vice President Lisa Papas
- Treasurer Sean Cotton
- Secretary Ginny Jeup
They then approved a new board meeting calendar for 2023. The most notable change is that starting in July, board meetings will move to Tuesdays to not conflict with municipal meetings. At their regular board meeting Monday 1/9, the board discussed when meetings would start and will vote on 1/23 whether or not to move the start time for regular meetings to 6:30 p.m.
Also on 1/9/23, the board established four committees:
- Community engagement
- Curriculum
- Finance and Facilities
- Policy and Contracts
Community members who have an interest in serving on one of the four Board committees should submit this form prior to 5 p.m. EST, on Friday, January 13.

Art News
Welcome to January! In case you missed the monthly Art Newsletter e-mailed to your home email through Artsonia, you can click here to find it again.
Our Magnet students are working on learning about Pop Art and creating their own unique food sculptures using Model Magic. First, the students learned about different Pop Artists and their sculptures. Using Pop Art for inspiration, students then planned two drawings to choose from on our clay day. Students had a blast experimenting with model magic, adding clay, subtracting clay, rolling it into coils and sculpting it. Check out some of our plans and our sculptures before we add color next week.
Sincerely,
Miss Zoufal
