PLEASE DO NOT REPLY to the etree, contact Mark van Krieken
[mailto:markvk4 at comcast.net] 

At the request of both the School Governance Council (SGC) and the
Berkeley Schools Excellence Project (BSEP) Committee, the deadline for
submitting Candidates' Statements has been extended until noon on
Wednesday, September 5th.  It has been pointed out that for many
people the election news got lost in the overwhelming amount of
information parents have been receiving over the summer regarding the
upcoming schoolyear.  

Statements already submitted will go up on the PTSA website today (as
of this writing on Monday) with any new ones to be added on Wednesday
afternoon.  Statements should be limited to 200 words or less and
submitted to PTSA president, Mark van Krieken at markvk4 at comcast.net.
Please remember to include what small school or program your child
attends and what residential district you reside in (if you know it).
 
Parents and guardians can also nominate themselves at the PTSA meeting
and run as write-in candidates.  A Candidates' Statement is not
required to run, but it is needed if candidates want their names
included on the printed ballots.  The PTSA meeting will be held on
Tuesday, September 11th at 7 PM in the Little Theater.
 
We encourage as many people as possible to get involved in the
decision-making process at BHS.  The more opinions, the more educated
and well-thought out the final decisions should be.  Thank you and we
look forward to seeing you at the meeting!
