Thought you might be interested in our latest look at PPS. More to follow as this comes in. As always impatient with the time it takes to get information back but realize this is a busy time of year with budget and contract negotiations for our school district. We believe in sharing. Let us know what information you may have gleaned from your sources and if you would like them to be exposed to the light of day; this is your chance.
Following is our Public Information Request to PPS as of two -four- weeks ago. We have highlighted in red the information that has come in as of 5/23. If you would like a copy of any of these pdf’s please let us know by sending a request to admin@restoreeducationbeforebuildings.com
