RUN AWAY!
I’m sure this proposal will be very popular with home educators.
Attracting more students, creating more income from sources other than property tax and involving the community more in the schools were goals addressed by three different task forces as they presented ideas on how to reach those objectives during a special meeting Monday night…Talking personally with parents who home-school their children and inviting them to tour the schools to see what the school could offer them in areas of music, phy-ed, computer labs and more, was a suggestion coming at Monday’s meeting from task force member and teacher Dianna Edling.
Edling said parents may read a letter or notice in the newspaper but felt it would be better if they were approached in person. “This is a very personal thing,” she said.
It was noted more than 40 students in the district are currently being home-schooled and the school now has more to offer those students. Some part-time credit would be allotted to the school district should students take advantage of music lessons, for example.
I can see it now- educrats going door-to-door trying to snag those dollars, I mean, recruit those homeschoolers. Good luck!

Good grief. It really is all about the money, isn’t it? |

why don’t they just leave us alone and stop trying “to help us”.. partial enrollment is better to them than nothing I suppose.. |
