Report on GWA Open House
Parents, teachers and prospective GWA families toured our now-occupied east wing Jan. 12, then listened to presentations by UAPCS President Chris Bleak (UAPCS is the charter school lobbying association) and Utah Senator Steve Urquhart.
Mr. Bleak stressed the continued need for everyone's involvement in securing a future for charter schools in Utah, encouraging parents and faculty to attend local caucuses - perhaps becoming state delegates - to further the issues important to charters. The biggest issue facing charters, since their inception in the state in 1998, is funding. Only our continued attention to this problem will keep it foremost in the minds of our legislators, thus ensuring the survival of charter schools.
If you were unable to attend but would still like to see the new classrooms, you can always contact our office staff to arrange a short tour. You should also take a minute to see the amazing murals now adorning the walls in our library. Incredible!
