WHAT'S ON THE LAC AGENDA?
SUPPORT PUBLIC SCHOOLS. WPSBA's Legislative Advocacy Committee will be talking about proposed legislative issues that affect our districts, including schools as polling places and prescriptive statewide requirements on school climate, codes of conduct, and disciplinary action. There's a place for you at the table at next Thursday's LAC meeting (4/25) beginning at 7:45 pm in the Seven Bridges MS Upper Commons (Chappaqua CSD).

BARBERS IN THE MAKING
MT. VERNON HS STUDENTS ARE DOING MORE THAN CUTTING HAIR as they gain practical life skills in the school's first barbering class. Important points are covered in this program, like sanitation, bone structure, and all that it takes to be a professional barber. Students, and even the school principal, have stopped by for a trim.
DO YOUR EDUCATIONAL DECISIONS INCLUDE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT COST-EFFECTIVENESS?
WITHIN THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF A SCHOOL DISTRICT BUDGET, there are both visible and hidden expenses associated with each program. While this may include some difficult discussions, cost-benefit factors should be part of the decision-making process. New tools to measure cost-effectiveness are on the rise as districts wrestle with belt-tightening.
