Task Force Reaches Consensus on Key Principles
At its February 23rd meeting, the Building Southmoor Together Task Force reached agreement on the principles it believes will best help to alleviate some of the perennial challenges around class size equity/parity, meeting individual student needs, and building a stronger community for all of Southmoor’s students, teachers, and families. These principles strike an important balance of preserving a dedicated HGT program even while striving for better integration of all Southmoor students to the greatest degree possible, and designate specific targets and strategies for ensuring class size parity.

Because these principles show a deference to teacher expertise on the design of specific configurations in grades 4 and 5, which are under discussion and won’t be finalized until more specific enrollment numbers come in, the Task Force will now turn its attention to more long range planning and visioning for the school. Stay tuned for ways to get involved.
