Another Meeting: Another Overflow Audience – this Time, Parents at the Wade Building of the BR-BOE

Let’s make this one brief. 

Parents listen to a parent at the lectern just outside this photo to the right.

Looks like my hunch about the board’s agenda turned out to be a lucky guess:  This evening, the Bridgewater-Raritan School District pulled back from a presentation scheduled to be given by the superintendent, proposing to tentatively have school personnel take over the school district’s Before/After Care Program from the non-profits now running this program in the various schools throughout the district.

More about this and the status of the budget later.  I just wanted for you to see the size of the turnout on this controversial topic. 

What you see in the photo does not capture the people standing against the wall to the right, those in the back of the room, others in the hallway, and all the other parents trying to get a good view of the proceedings from the two doorways leading into the meeting room.

Take care of yourselves tomorrow morning, as you head out to each of your respective responsibilities.  The weather won’t be accommodating to your efforts!

Thanks to you kind folks who let me through to take photos.
