For those interested in what happens to Garrett Academy! This info not on CCSD website!
"Hello Community Members,
"[. . .] proposals from Kevin Hollinshead. One is to put the CAS at the current Garrett campus and revitalize Garrett High School. The other proposal would place the CAS and Garrett at a new campus at property located at Dorchester and Montague which is currently being purchased by CCSD (would also house the new football stadium). Both proposals would keep Garrett Academy open and shift it from full magnet status to a partial magnet in order to prioritize zoned neighborhood access."
"There is a third proposal out from Cindy Bohn Coats that would place the CAS at Stall High School There is not a clear plan for Garrett Academy in that proposal.[. . .]"
"My information is that the Community Advisory Committee, which is led by Kevin Hollinshead, Cindy Bohn Coats, and Chris Collins, will meet on Wednesday, Nov 1, at 6:15pm at Garrett Academy. I think that the committee members and 3 board members will vote on which proposal to recommend to the full board. The full CCSD Board will hold a Special Board Meeting on Tuesday, Nov 2, at 5:00pm, at 75 Calhoun Street to vote on the placement of the CAS. Both meetings are open to the public. I cannot find official notification of these meetings on the CCSD web site."
"If you have contact info for people invited to serve on the Community Advisory Committee, please do forward this to them. That information is not published anywhere, but I think it would be good for them to have this ahead of Wednesday evening."
Sincerely,
Kristen French

Subject: Update: Garrett and CAS
First a correction: Here is the info I have on the two meetings this week:
- Community Advisory Committee, which is led by Kevin Hollinshead, Cindy Bohn Coats, and Chris Collins, will meet on Wednesday, Nov 1, at 6:15pm at Garrett Academy; proposals for locating the CAS with Garrett at the current location or at new property at Dorchester and Montague, or locating the CAS at Stall will be discussed. The mission of the meeting is to come up with one recommendation for the Board.
- CCSD Special Board Meeting on Thursday, Nov 2, at 5:00pm, at 75 Calhoun Street to vote on the placement of the CAS; The NCHS location is still on the agenda, but recommendations from the Community Advisory Committee will be reviewed first.
Also, Kurt Taylor, who is a member of the Community Advisory Committee, is happy to hear your views on these proposals. His email is: wkt1023@gmail.com
The word on the street (hard to confirm) is that if the CAS is not located with Garrett, Garrett Academy of Technology will be closed by 2020. In addition, if the CAS placement is not decided this week, it is unlikely that the facility can be completed in time for opening August 2020 (according to CCSD Staff).
