Use your Voice!

Use your voice to support the teachers and staff of Central at the next School Board Meeting on Wednesday, October 13th at 7 PM


This meeting will be to speak about Federal allocations which could be spent for salaries that were reduced, the cost of increased health care, and possibly new positions -we need another Assistant Principal. This position was cut last year and not filled. In addition, we are in need of additional staff members such as SPED teachers, which we've lost one for the past five years without filling which means increased caseload sizes and more difficulty in meeting these student's needs. We also only have one full time secretary for 1400 students. The other outstanding individuals you see in the main office are instructional aides. Lastly, we have two guidance employees for 1400 students. These are the "big" request that we plan for the following school year budget. Central staff are under a lot right now with being in school of improvement and the increased workloads that have been placed on all teachers throughout the country, but especially in schools of improvement.

Bus Driver Appreciation Breakfast

On October 15th, we are showing our bus drivers how much we appreciate all that they do by having a breakfast for them! For this event, we need food that the bus drivers can “grab n’ go” as many of them have other jobs and time constraints. Items like muffins, granola bars, donuts, bagels, breads & mini quiches, fruit (apples, oranges, bananas, etc), and small bottles or cans of juice are ideal. If you are interested in contributing items or you would like to help hand out breakfast for the drivers, please contact Charli Nolan at charlinolan@yahoo.com.
