Grant High School
Announcements from the Principal
April 21, 2012
Dear Grant Community,
Thank you for your collective patience as my team and I worked through the budget and staffing process. While there is no way to present this as good news, I will say, with great confidence, that the changes we made are designed to continue to maintain and nurture aspects of our Grant HS program which are successfully serving the broadest range of students, while only slightly reducing other components. We have not eliminated any program offering – though we have had to make some reductions. It is important for you to know that I have worked closely with district leadership to secure some additional funds beyond the initial budget allocation. I have been working with other PPS principals to work through some of the staffing implications to minimize disruption as teaching cuts in other schools begin to have their ripple impact.. . .
