State of Our Schools -- Fourth Annual Report to Community

              

COMMUNICATION -- A CORE RESPONSIBILITY FOR SCHOOLS

Fourth Annual STATE OF OUR SCHOOLS Events

November 17^th (Malibu) & November 18^th (Santa Monica)

The institution of public education, along with local governments and police and fire services are public trusts.  Their ability to succeed in their missions to serve their public lies, in great part, in the public’s trust in their ability to provide that service.  Public education, like other public services has been hit hard by California’s State Budget crisis.  However, Santa Monica-Malibu schools also have many successes to report.

On November 17^th (Malibu) & November 18^th (Santa Monica), the Santa  Monica-Malibu Unified School District, in partnership with co-sponsors, the Santa Monica-Malibu Council of PTAs, and the political action committee, Community for Excellent Public Schools (CEPS) will present the Fourth Annual STATE OF OUR SCHOOLS report.  These events will showcase and highlight SMMUSD accomplishments and challenges, providing a comprehensive report to its communities.

The programs will feature Ms. Pam Brady, Immediate Past President of California State PTA, presenting a State perspective.  SMMUSD Board of Education President Ralph Mechur and Vice-President Barry Snell will highlight alumni.  Santa Monica Malibu Unified School District Superintendent Tim Cuneo will then provide the State of Our Schools report, touching upon most current information on student achievement, district funding and upcoming initiatives.  The presentation will conclude with a panel of students and teachers from Santa Monica High School and Malibu High School sharing their experiences. Entertainment will also be provided by SMMUSD high school musicians.

After the presentation, refreshments will be served.  Superintendent Cuneo, Board of Education members, Santa Monica-Malibu Council of PTAs President Shari Davis and other school leaders will be on hand to answer any questions.

The events will run from 6:30 – 9:00pm.  November 17^th, Malibu High School Library.  30215 Morning View Drive, Malibu.  November 18^th, SMASH/John Muir Elementary School Cafetorium, 2526 6^th Street, Santa Monica.
