Dear Readers:
Attached is a notice from the Concerned Citizens of Dorchester about an upcoming School Board meeting that will have a presentation by representatives of the Maryland Association of Boards of Education (MABE). A notice in the Banner indicated that there would be an opportunity to ask questions at some point during the evening.
While this meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. on August 8th at the Dorchester County Technology Center, Dave Bromwell, the new superintendent, will be having an informal conversation with anyone interested starting at 6:00 p.m. that evening.
The school system is a critical component for the success of the children it serves and to the economic well being of Cambridge and Dorchester County. The Board of Education needs to know that you are interested in what they are doing, how they are doing it, and that you plan to be a close observant of their work in the coming years. I would urge you to attend both sessions to learn more about the roles and responsibilities of the board of education and its members.
Steve
