A meeting will be held May 15 at the Julius E. Sprauve School cafeteria to gather public recommendations for a new school under consideration for St. John, according to a news release from Government House.
The meeting will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. and will be sponsored the Office of the Governor and the Departments of Education and Public Works. Preliminary educational program requirements and key milestones in the process to date will be outlined.
“Each and every child on St. John should be offered an education that helps them achieve their highest level of success,” said Gov. John deJongh Jr. in the news release. "As elected leaders, we need to reexamine everything we do in our educational system as our schools transition with changing demographics. St. John is a perfect example of that. I look forward to engaging the St. John community in a vigorous discussion with positive results.”
Representatives from Education and Public Works, along with the architect of record, will be on hand to answer questions and seek input from the public on the planned approach for a new school and possible alternatives.
This will be the first in series of open meetings at which the public will have an opportunity to provide oral and written comments.
