I can't answer the first questions but I think that the more parents attend these sessions the more the school administration will see that the parents in the community care and will be vocal when things go wrong.

I see that there is a budget meeting tonight. Is this something in which maxwell is presenting or a group from central office? Does anyone know if they are talking about specific schools or pg in general? My child does not start school until next year so wondering if this is something I should attend?
