Tuition
Presentation:
** Ann Pursel
addressed the Board regarding the ways in which we interact with Wyoming
Central to provide them with the information to help the students and their
families decide which high school they will attend once they enter 9th
grade. She indicated that historically
our District receives about half of the 9th grade students. Since their class sizes have decreased, in
recent years it appears fewer are selecting PCS. She provided the Board with copies of the 2019-2020
class catalog that all students entering 8th grade receive to help
them select the courses they want to take and shared some ideas we can provide
additional information to the families in Wyoming to help them learn more about
our District. She answered questions and
the Board thanked her for the information.
