Dear Parents and Community Members:
Our school district reconfiguration planning continues at a very high level. Over the past few weeks, district administrators, teachers and other personnel have been actively engaged in all aspects of what this transition could look like for our school district. I am excited about some of the opportunities for students that have grown out of this process.
We continue to make every effort to communicate our progress related to the planning effort. Below please find links to the G-TV site where you can view the latest presentation concerning this important work. Please note that there is a longer format that goes into greater detail and a summary format that addresses the key points of where we are in the process.

Our Board of Education recognizes that this is an important decision for the future of our school district. It is critical for us to understand that this is not a matter of restructuring vs. not restructuring, but rather a question of restructuring while trying to maintain an outstanding educational program vs. trying to maintain the current system with significant budget cuts that will certainly affect the quality of education we offer.
We are not alone in the need to consider restructuring our school district. Neighboring school districts are all experiencing declining school enrollment and many are restructuring the format of their school system to achieve greater operational efficiency as budgets continue to steadily decline.
As always, we remain committed to sharing information regarding the possible district reconfiguration as soon as it becomes available. Please do not hesitate to contact our offices if you have questions in this regard.
Sincerely,
Michael P. Hanlon, Jr., Ph.D.
Superintendent
