Community meeting about the Main Street Academy Charter School

More than 300 people are expected at a community meeting focused on opening a charter school here. Folks will be talking at the Saturday meeting about everything from uniforms and curriculum to parental involvement.  The 'principal designate' will also be there. 

The meeting is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Georgia International Convention Center. See map below.

From David Shaginaw, a leader in the effort:
Please join us tomorrow from 10-2 at the GICC in College Park for TMSA’s 1st 2010 open community meeting. To date over 340 supporters have RSVP’d for our event. Tomorrow will offer you the chance to pre-enroll and learn about our location, curriculum & school structure, uniforms and required parental involvement. EdisonLearning, along with county BOE and state DOE representatives will be there with TMSA’s founders and governing board. You will also have the opportunity to meet TMSA’s Principal designate, who will help lead our school this fall. Take the time to learn about our 2010 plans and how you can get involved and contribute to TMSA’s successful launch this fall. This is your chance to stake your claim at The Main Street Academy. I look forward to seeing you there. Thanks for your time.
