Speakers Must Register Prior to Meeting Nov. 10
DALLAS– The Dallas Independent School District is seeking public comment on its intent to request a waiver regarding the 2005 school start date at a hearing scheduled for 3:45 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 10.
Parents, students and other patrons are invited to participate in the public hearing, which will be held at the Administration Building, 3700 Ross Ave. Speakers must register by calling (972) 925-3720 before 3 p.m. that day.
The waiver from the Texas Commissioner of Education would allow the district to begin school on Aug. 15, 2005, one week prior to the date set by the Texas Education Agency. Approval of the waiver will enable DISD students to complete the first semester (and first semester exams) prior to the winter break, and to complete the second semester prior to Memorial Day.
Those interested in participating in an online survey should visit www.dallasisd.org (after Wednesday, Nov. 3).
