City Council Public Hearing on the Education Budget

City Council Chambers
City Hall, 45 Lyon Terrace

Black Rock Families for Excellence invites you to meet some of the Board of Education members at Black Rock School, Thursday, March 12 at 7pm at the Black Rock School on Brewster Street.  The public will have the opportunity to ask questions about how budgeting works and what the outlook is for Black Rock School and the entire school district. Pizza and babysitting will be provided.

On Saturday, March 7, two members of each Black Rock community organization were invited to attend a meeting to develop strategies and plans for working together. Our community has become a model for other neighborhoods in the city to emulate because of the deep involvement in civic activities by our residents. The Black Rock Community Council, which was established in 1978, took the lead role in sponsoring the Black Rock Summit and inviting the participants, which included our State Representative Auden Grogins and City Councilperson Sue Brannelly.

Next Tuesday (May 27th) may be the last opportunity to advocate for keeping Black Rock School open. There is a Board of Ed meeting at Aquaculture School (located at Captains Cove). The meeting is at 7 pm. People need to be there by 6:45pm to sign in to speak.

We need as many people to speak as possible, including people with children at St. Ann's as well as those with grown children or no children. They need to hear how important the school is to our community.
