Tonight I'll be attending the Rediscover East! community meeting from 5:30 to 6:30 at Eastwood Christian Church, 16th and Eastland. The meeting will be in the 2nd floor fellowship hall.

Tuesday is the regular BOE meeting at 5:00 p.m., 5601 Bransford Avenue. I've uploaded the .pdf copy of the agenda to http://kaybrooks.com/061306%20agenda.pdf for review. Isaac Litton Middle School's PTA President will be speaking to encourage the BOE to actually start the much needed repairs at Litton that have been promised but have been put off. The explanation given was the failure of the sales tax referendum and the $42 million needed to build the new Cane Ridge High School in Antioch. I'm sure your support would be appreciated. Contact information for the board members can be found at http://www.mnps.org/PageFactory.aspx?PageID=22.

Thursday is the League of Women Voters forum for all the school board candidates. This is from their website http://www.lwvnashville.org/.

The forum will be held on Thursday, June 15, 2006, from 7:30 - 8:30 p.m., at the PED (Public Education and Government) Television Studeio, at Nashville State Technical College, 120 White Bridge Road, Nashville. (snip)

Candidates will make opening remarks and answer questions posed by members of the Education Committee. The program will be aired live and re-broadcast on public cable televsion stations, so that Nashville voters will have the opportunity to learn about the candidates and their views on public education in our community.
