What's News at Magee?
#6 - April 2019
Moving Forward
I am sure you have heard by now that the referendum question on the ballot on April 2, 2019 for operational needs did not pass. We are moving forward in the direction the voters have given. What does that mean? It means that there will be $1.9 million in cuts across our district budgets for the 19-20 school year, along with a plan to study enrollments and boundaries to inform the Board of possible plans to consolidate schools for the 20-21 school year. The reductions in staff and the process to identify possible consolidation plans will be shared at the April 23 board meeting. That work will begin yet this year, go through the summer and into next school year. The process will involve all stakeholders - parents, staff, and community members; as we align our work to meet student needs and we WILL keep students at the forefront of all conversations.
So, what DOES this mean for Magee?? Contrary to what you may be hearing, there is NO plan for ANY school, Magee included, to close yet. I outlined the process above. What we do know at Magee is that this is not a new rumor, it seems that this is talked about in the community every year, and this year is no different. We also do know that we will have the same number of classrooms/sections for the 19-20 school year! What is different is that we KNOW things will look different for the 20-21 school year.
For this year, and next year, our staff plans to continue being AWESOME! As a staff, when we are in the classrooms with your children, THEY are the most important work we have to do! We are committed to being AWESOME through whatever the year brings - and we need your help and support! We are in this together - together as a school and together as a district! If you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. My door is always open!

You will also receive a survey from the district, about Magee, in the near future and we hope you can also take some time to complete that survey. It does help us know allow us to see growth over time and also impacts our planning.
Again, THANK YOU so much for your time and feedback, we sincerely appreciate it.
