Student Transfers may be DENIED

We were very disappointed to hear at last night's meeting that Directors Solak and Stitt plan to follow current Board Policy 252 on Student Transfers to a "T".  They stressed that they will be paying particular attention to the clause:
5. Lack of space or disruption of class sizes at the sending or receiving school building.
When Armstrong East and Armstrong Central were de-consolidated in the early 90's, those students were allowed to pick their school of choice.  Also, we feel certain that the "No sports for one school year" was not imposed like it is now.  That, we feel, set a presidence.  What is so different now? 

If you are a parent, who submitted a Transfer Request, we urge you to attend the meeting Monday, March 22, 2010 at 7:30 PM at Lenape Elementary.  We urge you to take to the podium during Public Comments section and tell this board that this is UNACCEPTABLE!

Please watch the video from last night's meeting where Directors Solak and Stitt make it clear that they are planning to DENY any requests out of Elderton High School for next school year.
