To All,

As you are all aware, budget time is near.  We should all attend the following meetings to show our support in numbers for the upcoming budget vote. 

Tuesday, March 13th - Board Meeting 8:00 at ECC/District Office

Wednesday, March 14th - Booster Club Meeting 7:30  - H.S. Cafeteria

Thursday, March 22nd- Budget Workshop- 7:00 @ ECC/District Office

These dates are also available on the district website:  www.eischools.org

 We want everyone to come together and inform our "neighbors" about next years budget.  Pat Flamio is working on getting a conference room at the EI Library (time and date to follow) to discuss strategies on passing the budget.  This will be a CLOSED meetiing to those only on this email - or any Pro-active FRIENDS you may have. We DO NOT want an OPEN meeting.  (Technically any meeting at the library is open to the public, therefore, we want to keep it to just US!)

 At this  meeting we will discuss how we NEED Volenteers to help make phone calls for the upcoming vote!!!!!!  (Information to follow)

 I know we all have busy lives. . . . Let's try to fit these meetings into our schedules so we can PREVENT this from happening AGAIN next year!!!!!!!!

 Hugs & Kisses,

 Lisa

 STEVE AND KIM LEVY . . . . Pass this on to Susie. I'm sure she'll want to help out! 

                              (keep it on the hush)

SOME QUESTIONS FROM SCHOOLWATCH:

WHY CLOSED/PRIVATE MEETINGS AT A PUBLIC LIBRARY?

WHY ARE BOE MEMBERS MEETING IN PRIVATE WITH SPECIAL INTERESTS?  DID YOU FORGET THAT YOU REPRESENT THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY AND NOT THE SPECIAL INTERESTS OF THE UNION!!!
