Plymouth High School junior Shannon Shaver's article on P-CEP's proactive approach to anti-bullying was featured in the National Edition of the My High School Journalism website. The story had originally run in the Dec. 16 edition of the Plymouth-Canton Educational Park Perspective (student newspaper at P-CEP).

Kevin Epling, the father of the young man for whom "Matt's Safe School Law" is named, commented on the article and complimented Shannon on her work. The online article may be viewed at http://pcep.pccs.k12.mi.us/node/2527

Please find attached the agenda for the Board of Education Special Meeting on Mon., Jan 30, 2012 at 7 p.m.

The Board of Education wishes to apologize to the community for the decision at its January 24 meeting to limit the period of Citizen Comment. The intent of this decision was not to stifle public comment or deny persons the opportunity to speak but to keep the comment period at a reasonable length to allow the Board to conduct its business. Citizen comment has lately occupied a large portion of Board meetings. It has been a difficult task for the Board to balance the desire to hear from the public with its need to conduct school district business.
