Important School Choice Meeting

Two main PEER goals from our mission statement are:

Support Quality Education and School Choice - We will work to
promote high quality educational options for all students.
Advocate - Provide support for parents regarding education issues
in the community.

Today you have a chance to make your opinion about school choice
known. As many of you know, Western Sierra Collegiate Academy has
been petitioning for a new charter college prep 7-12 school in the
local area.

The Rocklin Unified School Board denied the charter twice, and now
the decision has been appealed to the Placer County Board of
Education.

Tonight, November 13th, the Placer County Board will make their
decision. If you want your opinion heard, I urge you to
attend this meeting. It will be held at:


Placer County Office of Education
360 Nevada Street, Auburn

Time: 7:00 PM
