Missoula School Watchdog is an opponent of adding more and more grade levels, i.e. pre=school and all day kindergarten.  msw is also an opponent of adding more and more programs such as the International Baccalaureate Program, the Health Academy, and the Spanish Immersion program. The superintendent and the Board have been over-extending the district's ability to offer the basics due to all the additional programs.

MCPS to begin long-range planning on school upgrades-Missoulian article on-line on October 7, 2013

MCPS to begin long-range planning on school upgrades

Missoula school watchdog is leery of any long-range planning by this group of MCPS school officials. How can anyone trust them as they close our neighborhood schools, lease and sell our public schools to private schools, accept outrageous salary increases when our teachers are complaining of lack of basic school supplies, etc.etc.?

MCPS: Move meetings to more accessible location

Click on the link below to read a letter to the editor by Ross Best in the September 25th, 2013 edition of the Missoulian regarding the location of MCPS meetings to discuss facilities.

Perhaps they are trying to discourage the public from attending? Also, they probably have to rent this space so why aren't they using the meeting rooms in the Administration building, or the public library.

missoulaschoolwatchdog is in agreement with tinlizzie on both counts - that is, MCPS is discouraging the public from attending meetings AND that the district is unwisely using funds to rent the facility when they could be using any number of MCPS buildings for this use.
