The entire educational community is invited.

Over the last three months, literally hundreds of people in Montgomery County have worked diligently to amass information about the most critical issues facing our school system and, indeed, every school system in the nation -- improving student performance and closing the gap in student achievement by race and ethnicity.

Much of their work will result in major budget recommendations to the Board of Education. The recommendations will be presented for the public on Wednesday, December 8, 1999, at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium of Wheaton High School. The school is located at 12601 Dalewood Drive in Silver Spring.

The budget recommendations will be based largely on the findings and proposals outlined in Our Call to Action: Raising the Bar and Closing the Gap, Because All Children Matter. This report was presented to the Board of Education on November 9, and it provides an overview of the actions necessary to fulfill the Success for Every Student Plan.
