EAA Board Meeting Thursday, March 13th, 4 p.m. in Detroit
This meeting will be held in the Frank Hayden Community Room, #236, on the downtown campus of Wayne County Community College (1001 West Fort Street, Detroit.)
Eclectablog notes:
After canceling their February meeting, the EAA Board of Directors is meeting for the first time since early December. Apparently there hasn’t been anything of significance happening with their school district since then that warranted them meetings. The Board, which started out with 11 members, is down to six members. In fact, three of the existing members’ terms have actually expired:
- Mark Murray’s 1 year term expired on August 11, 2012
- William Pickard’s 2 year term expired on August 11, 2013
This meeting is open to the public and the announcement for it can be found HERE.On the agenda is the expansion of the EAA by adding a new high school near Phoenix Elementary in the southwest part of Detroit.
- Roy Roberts’ 2 year term expired on August 11, 2013
And by the way, if you are interested in going to the protest, that will start at 3:30. You can RSVP here--or just show up on Thursday.
Sign A Petition?
Also, if you are interested, there is a petition to Governor Snyder to shut down the EAA because it is a "failed experiment."
