APGov - Extra Credit Opportunity

Arlington Public Schools is holding a student forum this Thursday from 4:30-6:00pm in the W-L cafeteria as part of the development process of the APS Strategic Plan for 2011-2017.  At this forum, APS officials will be soliciting student feedback and advice for how to improve Arlington County Schools.  The Strategic Plan will provide the overall blueprint to guide APS decision-making for the next five years.

Any student that participates in this forum from my APGov classes will receive 2 extra points on their Interest Group Project rubric (it is a 50 point rubric).  Please participate in the forum only if you've already completed your project.
