Salem Public School Parents Discussion
Sarah Morrill from the Salem Education Foundation presented information about the Salem Public School System and the goals of the Salem Education Foundation. Bethanne Cornell also provided great insight to the New innovation curriculum starting at Carlton.
If we missed you that night, I am sure we will have another followup discussion–answering questions that a parent may have when making decisions to send your child to the public school system.
