2. LETTER FROM TRSU SUPERINTENDENT: The following letter is from Layne Millington the superintendent of the Two Rivers Supervisory Union, regarding restructuring changes of the Green Mountain Unified School District (GMUSD):
Dear TRSU Community,
The GMUSD Open Forum will take place on November 12, 2024, at 6:00 PM at Cavendish Elementary School.
This will be a final opportunity for community input before the restructuring plan is presented to the GM School Board later this month. It is also an excellent opportunity for community members to share their thoughts, ask questions, and engage in meaningful conversations about the school district—especially as we are entering budget seasons.
