League of Women Voters presents Let's Talk About It: Proposed ARPS Changes

LWV presents “Let’s Talk About It” – an overview of the Secondary Schools Re-Visioning & Wildwood Building Project
 
In their recent video production, the League of Women’s Voters offered an excellent overview of the extremely important decisions and potential changes facing our public schools. Produced by Amherst Media, LWV member Joan Temkin hosts “Let’s Talk About It” featuring Superintendent Maria Geryk, Assistant Superintendent Mike Morris, and Director of Human Resources Kathryn Mazur for an enlightening discussion of the possible Grade 7 -12 consolidation and the possible elementary reconfiguration.
The program is about 40 minutes long and can be found at: https://amherstmedia.org/content/lets-talk-about-it-proposed-arps-changes.

There are multiple opportunities for families and the community to become engaged and provide feedback on these very important topics. Please make an effort to become informed by watching the video above, attending a forum, visiting the ARPS Wildwood School Building Project Facebook page, or contacting district leaders directly with your feedback.
