McKinley-Thatcher Needs YOUR Voice in the CSC!
Are you curious how McKinley-Thatcher makes decisions about how to spend our money?
Our Collaborative School Committee (CSC) brings together families, caregivers, and staff to create and implement a plan to promote the continued success of McKinley-Thatcher. This committee meets once a month for 1 hour beginning in November and ending in May, and is an opportunity to have a voice in our school’s budget, among other things!
If you are interested in joining the CSC, please fill out the form here to let us know what days work best for you. We hope to see you there! For more information about the CSC, visit our website here.
