Interim Plan Vote Postponed at Least a Week
The Board is currently voting to extend the voting time and will NOT be voting tonight. They are extending it at least a week (or more) but need to get it done before enrollment starts in late Feb.
I believe the Board must have gotten tremendous pressure about the plan to change the voting date.
They will be receiving new enrollment data from the Enrollment office. Directors are debating whether gettting the data on Tuesday night for a Wednesday vote is fair to families and community.
Is it sufficient time for these people to give input?
Tracy Libros says they need a week to be sure.
Trying for 36 hours between posting of new info and meeting so the vote is set for Thursday, January 31st at 5 p.m.
This removes the vote and Director Carr's amendment.
Update: All the directors wanted to make sure there was as much time as possible for people to weigh in on the new enrollment numbers (and possible ramifications to any plan) so kudos to them for that effort.

--trying to watch!
Just updated enrollment projections based on early enrollment? Results of advanced learning tests for this fall? Both?
What data have they been using up until now?
Just trying to figure out exactly what they'll know next week that is different than what they know today. Can anyone explain? Thanks.
Early enrollment ends on 1/31 and AL has posted they will be mailing letters by 1/31.

The parents that testified last night were very concerned that, over the next week, those with the time and resources to lobby for their scenario, will be able to sink the board with emails and calls. They believe schools like Sacajawea will be left in the dusk.
