Full day kindergarten to be $275 month at Higley Schools

March 21, 2009, 8:27 pm

If you hadn’t heard, due to budget cuts the full time kindergarten program has been cut.  Children can go to half time kindergarten for free still but full-time is $275/month per child.

See a story on it from the EV Trib here and at the Republic here.

Superintendent Birdwell

March 1, 2009, 10:29 pm

Congratulations to Dr. Denise Birdwell on the new contract to be the HUSD superintendent for at least another year.  Despite my earlier thoughts on a search I have changed my mind and I think the board made the right choice — especially in light of the financial crisis the district, community, state, country, and world are facing in 2009. It was a unanimous vote.

See articles on the subject here and here.

Any thoughts?
