PTA Board Election
2020-07-06 19:00 - 19:30 | Woodlin Elementary School, 2101 Luzerne Ave, Silver Spring, MD, 20910, United States
Please join us on Monday, July 6 at 7 pm in front of Woodlin ES to elect officers to the PTA board for the 2020-21 school year. Since Montgomery County has moved into Phase 2 of COVID reopening, we are also now allowed to gather in groups of up to 50, which means we can move forward with in-person elections as required by Maryland PTA. We hope our dedicated PTA members can give us 15-30 minutes of your time to gather in a safe, socially distant way so we can officially elect our new officers. To keep everyone as safe as possible, please maintain 6′ distance from others, bring and wear your mask, and don’t come if you are not feeling well or have been exposed to anyone else showing symptoms of COVID. Since we know it’s hard for kids to maintain social distancing when they see their friends, we recommend leaving the kids at home, if possible.
Please sign-up at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WBesNnUfTfN0AfXdc_AV5_3FghuSq_mzvh26ynuOLCs/edit?usp=sharing to let us know you are planning to attend so we can make sure we meet quorum requirements.
The nominating committee has identified the following people to serve as officers for the 2020-21 PTA Board. Since we only have one nominee for each position, we will hold voice votes. If there are additional nominations made from the floor, we will do a ballot vote for those positions.
Elected Officers
President – Alison Aughinbaugh
Vice-President for Administration – Jill Desjean
Vice-President for Advocacy – Michelle Washko
Treasurer – Connie Castillo
Secretary – Lauren Boylan
AGAIN…Please sign-up to let us know you are planning to come – https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WBesNnUfTfN0AfXdc_AV5_3FghuSq_mzvh26ynuOLCs/edit?usp=sharing. Thank you!

Important Notice: Due to the current health crisis, this meeting will be held virtually via a video conference call. A telephone call-in option will also be available. For further information and details concerning this meeting; refer to the Woodlin Elementary School Project Web Page LINK below:

https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/facilities/construction/project/woodlines.aspx
Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) is scheduled to begin the Schematic Design Phase for an approved capital project in your neighborhood.
This notice is to inform you of the Schematic Design meetings scheduled for the approved new school facility project at Woodlin Elementary School. MCPS extends an invitation to you to participate in this process. Everyone in attendance will have the opportunity to hear about the study process for the proposed project.
The purpose of these meetings is to develop a preliminary design for the school project. This is an evolving process whereby input from the previous meeting is incorporated into the ongoing proposed design. These meetings are to determine spatial relationships within the school’s interior, the pedestrian and traffic flow of the site, and how the project will impact the community at large.
Participants will include representatives of the school, PTA, neighbors, government agencies, the design architects, and staff from MCPS Division of Construction.
The dates and times for the meetings are shown below. The work sessions are scheduled in the afternoons and evenings to allow for maximum community and school staff involvement.
Sign language interpreter services will be provided upon request with notice as far in advance as possible but no less than 5 business days prior to the event. If you need this or other services or aids to participate in this activity, please call Mr. Kenneth Futch, project manager, Division of Construction, at 240-314-1000 voice; TTY users should call Maryland Relay (711) or email at Kenneth_R_Futch@mcpsmd.org.
