Last Chance to Influence Decision on Fayetteville’s High School Expansion

February 15, 2007 is the last day to have your voice heard regarding the future of Fayetteville High School(s). The decisions at hand are twofold: whether to convert from one to two high schools and whether to add 9th grade to high school.

The Future of Fayetteville High School Select Committee has been encouraging the public to make suggestions and comments to help with the recommendation process. The committee has been meeting for months and plans to meet February 15 to finalize its report.

The report will be presented to the school board February 22.

A city’s public school system is a matter of great importance to all its citizens. Quality of life, perception of the city in general, real estate values, property taxes and more are all affected.

If you haven’t already commented, please take time to peruse the Future of Fayetteville High School Select Committee’s website. There you will find answers to many questions plus a blog. There is also a comment form.

Voice mail messages for the committee may be left at 479-973-8679. (Note phone number 973-9679 on the comment form is incorrect.)

The deadline for your input is prior to the committee meeting February 15, 2007.
