Letter from the PTO

Hi everyone! I hope the year has gotten off to a smooth start for your kids!
We have lots of fun activities to look forward to, and we need lots of ATTENTION brought to the current events of the Fayette County Board of Education. As you know, the school board is considering closing two elementary schools (Brooks being a strong possibility), in an attempt to balance the budget. As PTO officers, we will fight this loudly! We hope to see you at school this Thursday at 6pm for our first PTO meeting and Open House. We will provide you with some facts surrounding the board’s decision process, as well as our plan of action to influence the decision.

Remember, you may take the stakeholders survey regarding the budget-balancing attempts until September 16th. Anyone in the community can take the survey. It’s found on fcboe.org. Brooks must make its’ voice be heard!!!!

Also, please mark your calendars if you would like to attend the FCBOE meeting on September 19th at 7pm. To our understanding, the board may review the results of the county survey. As PTO officers, we plan to present to the board with our reasons why Brooks Elementary should NOT be closed.

Hope to see you Thursday night at Open House!
