Mark -
I have just learned that PPS has a Board meeting on Sunday at 2 PM - that's right - Sunday. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss Excel 9-12. The meeting will be in the Board Committee room. I think they are planning for a long meeting that would go all afternoon and into the evening.
Its not on their website yet, but I confirmed this with Robin Wenger in the Board office. I know you are posting these things so I thought you would want to know about it.
Thanks,
Carey Harris

One problem with excel for 9-12 is that it really is about 6-12 and beyond to college with the Pgh Promise.
If they only had a focus of high school -- I'd be much more satisfied. The move to put middle schoolers into high schools is NUTS.
Keep the Pressure On – A Strike is Not in the Best Interest of Children
Send your message to Mark Roosevelt, Superintendent of Pittsburgh Public Schools and John Tarka, PFT President - to resolve the issues related to the teacher’s contract in a way that avoids a strike and ensures that education our children progresses without interruption. We expect all parties will do whatever is required to ensure that kids are never used as a bargaining chip, and that all negotiations will be conducted in a way that reflects compassion and commitment to the future of our city’s students.

2. Mark Roosevelt: mroosevelt1@pghboe.net or 412-622-3600
* Send a letter to the editor of the Post Gazette and Tribune Review– urging both sides to find a resolution to the contract: letters@post-gazette.com and opinion@tribweb.com.
* We are all out of post cards (Thanks for the overwhelming response!) so please use email and phone calls to keep the pressure on.
