Additional Ways to Participate – Volunteer time and goods at our fundraisers throughout the year – Volunteer services such as grant writing, public relations, etc. What will we have to cut if we don’t reach our fundraising goal? – Fewer Instructional Assistants – Less Professional Development – Lose funding for Singapore Math

School of Choice Background Due to a loose SOC policy and impacted schools in CUSD – including middle and high school within Spanish immersion, the CUSD Board of Trustees recently clarified and made revisions to the School of Choice Policy. Policy for 2015/16 quickly put in place for School of Choice period (March 5-31, 2015) Potential for revision Current School of Choice Policy Includes statement: “Families new to School of Choice in have no guarantee of sibling priority in the future.” Trustee Jones clarified that this statement is due to impacted schools that do not include Bergeson and therefore will not affect us.

School of Choice Current Impact on MIP Confusion over broad policy Parent concern over changes in Sibling Priority Steps taken 1.FoMIP board members reached out to all Trustees for clarification. 1.Had and phone conversations with Trustee Jones and Trustee Reardon 2.Received clarification on policy. 3.Request for input from MIP families as they move forward with potential revisions. 2.FoMIP Committee of Parents 1.Created document for Trustees and Superintendent Vital with information on MIP, historical policy, how changes would affect program and request for specific policy. 2.Document is posted on FoMIP website
