Spencerport holds elementary school
redistricting community forum

The Spencerport School District is holding a community forum for residents interested in getting information about the elementary school boundary change process. The forum is on Tuesday, October 8 at 7 p.m. in the boardroom at the administration building, 71 Lyell Avenue.

The community forum is one piece of the dialog that will take place as the boundaries are adjusted to include the new elementary school, which opens next fall. Another piece is the Task Force on Elementary School Attendance Boundaries, co-chaired by Dan Milgate, principal of the new elementary school. The task force will consist of two parents from each of the existing elementary schools; one teacher and the principal from each elementary school; and three at-large community members. Transportation Director Michael Proukou, Pat Chapman from the census and attendance office, and a representative from Transportation Advisory Services will serve as advisory members.

Ideally, the three at-large task force members will be long-time community residents who do not now, nor will within the next few years, have students in the elementary schools. Those interested in serving should also have an active interest in the success of the school district. The task force will meet three times: Tuesday, October 29; Monday, November 18; and Wednesday, December 4.

Residents wishing to be considered for membership on the task force are asked to submit a letter of interest by Thursday, October 10 to: Daniel Milgate, Bernabi Elementary School, 69 Lyell Avenue, Spencerport, 14559.

Residents can also contact Milgate at 349-5403 or via email, dmilgate@spencerportschools.org.
