SUPPORT MANUAL HIGH SCHOOL AGAINST FORCED CHARTER SCHOOL CO-LOCATION

Press release:

Here we go again!

Denver Public Schools senior administrators and OSRI (Office of School Reform and Innovation) offered Manual High School to GALS

without informing staff, students or parents

GALS is a 6-8 girls only charter school seeking a building to expand through 12^th grade

Starting in the 2013-2014 school year, Manual and GALS will co-locate which means:

Ø  GALS would occupy the entire 3rd floor (no access to Manual staff or students)

Ø  GALS would have exclusive use of the small gym (no access to Manual staff or students)

Ø  GALS would have shared use of the cafeteria, but not “co-mingle” with Manual students

Ø  GALS would have shared use of dance, weight, cardio rooms and pool, but not “co-mingle” with Manual students

COME SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR MANUAL HIGH SCHOOL!

July 26, 2012 from 6:00-8:00PM (Manual Cafeteria)

Mark your calendars:

August 2, 2012 from 6:00-8:00PM (Manual Cafeteria)
