While many of us are excited for spring weather to finally arrive (and stay), March is also the time for budgets! There has been much information in the media about the budget. Superintendent Perera released her proposed budget on Friday. I'll provide links at the bottom to her budget presentation and the accompanying documentation. Mrs. Perera will be presenting her budget on Thursday at Smithfield High School at 6 PM. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the budget and how it will impact your student at CAES.
Some tangible improvements proposed for CAES in the new budget include a restoration of the full substitute budget, 3 new classroom computers in each CAES classroom, and new multi-media projectors in all CAES classrooms. The last two components are seen as the elementary component of the Isle 21 Initiative that brought iPads to all county high school students and will tremendously improve our ability to bring 21st century technology to our students.
If you've been in any way connected to the local media, you are also well aware of the conflict between the IWCS School Board and the IW Board of Supervisors. To this point, IWCS parents have been rather quiet about their support for the fine public education that is available in county schools. There are a group of dedicated CAES parents who have been meeting and planning to advocate for public schools in a positive and proactive manner. If you are interested in supporting and improving our excellent education at CAES, please contact Mrs. Ellen Baker- familybaker@verizon.net
