Concerned Partners in Education Meeting Topic CMSD Superintendent/ CEO

Come One! Come All! Concerned Citizens…

TO A BUGLE CALL!

Do You Care? Do YOU really Care?
Come show your support; let’s be fair to our deserving children. We all have a stake in our children’s future and their safe and secure learning environment.
Each school must have the same opportunity to achieve the highest standards of academic excellence.

You are cordially invited to attend our next
“Concerned Partners in Education” Crucial Meeting
Date: Saturday, February 18, 2006
Location: Harvard Community Center
18240 Harvard Avenue / Cleveland, OH
Time: 10:30 A.M. - 12:30 P.M.
TOPIC: Superintendent/Chief Executive Officer
Cleveland Municipal School District
Guest, Chris Webb
Up and Coming Poet, Cleveland School of the Arts

We are a caring grass roots organization of educators, business owners, parents, students and community whose main objective is in the best education and the safety of our children, founded by Mrs. Gwendolyn Blake Norfleet, retired Principal, as a result of a mandate from the School Board to have “Community Involvement” in the search for our school district’s new Superintendent.

It is blatantly evident that the Superintendent/CEO has an immediate impact on the lives of our children who will later become our “Future America,” hence; it is our mission to make sure that this person, male or female, has a heartfelt, vested interest in the education of the whole child/student. We must not overlook the creative, talented, highly immaculate qualifications of Educators within our own surrounding areas and regional jurisdictions. Let us embark upon this task with passion and dedication for our “kids.” Show your loving heart for the Cleveland Municipal Public School system.

PLEASE COME OUT AND VOICE YOUR CONCERNS!!

RSVP: Contact: Mrs. Gwendolyn Blake Norfleet
Chairperson, Concerned Partners in Education (CPIE)
