Budget Information Session hosted by CAES

The CAES PTA will be hosting a Budget Information Session for all parents on Tuesday, April 8th at 6:30 in the CAES Cafeteria.  

We'll have Laura Abel, Assistant Superintendent, present a short FYI about how the budget will address the instruction needs in the school division.  Specifically for Carrollton, we're hoping to get more teachers to address our large classroom sizes and technology to replace our aging computers.

Mr. Kent Hildebrand, IWCS School Board Representative for Carrollton, will also be present and available for insight into the budget process.

We have two donated dinners for 2 to two favorite local restaurants.  In addition, we'll have free child care in the library so parents can enjoy relax and concentrate on the budget presentation while their kids watch a movie.

Make it a priority to get to CAES on April 8th at 6:30 to advocate for OUR students!
