CURRENT PLANNING COMMITTEE UPDATES & ACTIVITIES
SUCCESS!!
SCHOOL BOARD BACKS THE PROPOSED
GLADE PARK SCHOOL 5-0!
Board members voted to approve a resolution that
declares the school district's intent to open an elementary school on Glade Park
in the fall of 2009.
The Glade Park Community School would open in a temporary facility by fall of
2009.
The school will be a 'school of choice' for both Glade Park residents and also
families from the valley. This means that it would be optional for Glade
Park residents.
Stay tuned for further details. If you have not already contacted the
Glade Park School Committee about possibly enrolling your child/children please
use the contacts page to call or email one of us.
It is important that we get a preliminary child count.
The Glade
Park School will prove to be more than just a school catering to the young
children on Glade Park…it will be an anchor for the community that benefits
all. Some possible opportunities that the school can offer the community other
than an excellent educational facility for the children of Glade Park would
include:

event center for meetings and activities

the 4-H Club
