Unfortunately, there are two important meetings tonight with conflicting schedules.
Simpson Middle School Open House
The first meeting is the Simpson Middle School open house. I will be attending with my oldest who is about to start his first year at Simpson. I am really looking forward to meeting all his teachers.
I have my volunteer form all filled out and I am looking forward to participating in the education experience over there too. I have always made it a priority to participate in the classrooms and extra-curricular activities of each of my children. Obviously education is a passion of mine, but I think even the smallest parent participation in the schools or at events makes the schools and the students perform better.
Flat Rock Planning Commission
The second meeting is the Planning Commission meeting, scheduled as a make-up to the August 24, 2009 cancellation. Unfortunately, both events are at 7:00 p.m. (I may still try to pop in on the end of that meeting).
There are a couple of interesting items on the agenda. The one I am hearing the most discussion about is the proposal to close/vacate East Seneca and North Evergreeen. My understanding is this is being considered to form a campus and join Bobcean and the Flat Rock High School grounds.
One of the primary concerns seems to be the alteration of traffic patterns and creating potential congestion choke points. Apparently there have been some traffic studies to address these concerns. I would be interested to see the process. If anyone goes please let me know the process and the results of that agenda item.
Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments section.
