PTSA Weekly Update 9/24
Board of Education set to vote on Lowell admissions change.
We need your support.
Tuesday, September 25, 6pm
Board of Education meeting
555 Franklin Street:
Dear Parents,
This Tuesday, the Board of Education is voting on an important policy decision that will directly affect Lowell High School. In consultation with the Alumni Association, we are asking for your support to keep our SFUSD designation as an academic high school. You may have seen the following article: https://www.sfchronicle.com/education/article/Lowell-High-School-s-competitive-selection-13249245.php?utm_source=email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=newsletter&utm_campaign=sfc_morningreport
Lowell as an academic institution must continue. On Tuesday, the Board of Education will meet to vote on a proposal to reduce entrance requirements for students of one middle school. Instead of strengthening the preparation and education of students at that, or any other school, this may be the first step to ending Lowell's academic designation.
Please attend the meeting at 555 Franklin and ask the Board to reject the proposal and instead study the issue and improve the education of middle school students across the district, so they can be successful in their continuing education.
