RE: School District Issues & Discussion

["Chris Storhok" <cstorhok@latah.id.us>]

On the issue of school district issues and discussion:

There is a Moscow School Board meeting tonight at 7:00pm held at the Jr.
High in
the multi-purpose room.
Tonight's discussion will focus on the West Park and Russell
reconfiguration. I know I have a lot of questions about the need for
reconfiguration and so far have had very incomplete and unsatisfactory
answers to the reasons behind this move.
I would encourage anyone who is interested to attend.
Thanks,
Chris

Ron,

That's an excellent point that I failed to consider!

Well, we'll know the truth when the census bureau makes publicly
available the Idaho family information. Currently, there's no posted
release date for that information (though other states have theirs
posted).
