FOUNDATION FOR THE FUTURE COMMUNITY MEETING - THURSDAY AT 6:30 P.M.
|
Last night nearly 150 parents, alumni, and community members attended the first Foundation for the Future presentation of 2015. A reminder: we will be hosting a repeat of the presentation Thursday night at 6:30 P.M. in the BHS auditorium.
To address overcrowding and aging schools, we will be proposing renovations at Brownsburg High School. An additional elementary school would also be built to relieve overcrowding. The purpose of the meeting is to present the challenges faced by our growing school community and talk about proposed solutions and the impact a possible referendum would have on Brownsburg residents. We hope you can join us.
