Greene County teacher asks district to allow bus drop-offs for after-school tutoring at downtown site
Summary
A Greene County teacher told the board she will open an after-school tutoring program at 118 A Main Street in downtown Greensboro, asked to distribute flyers at local schools and requested that district buses be permitted to drop participating students at the facility during summer and the next school year.
A Greene County teacher told the board she plans to open an after-school tutoring program at 118 A Main Street in downtown Greensboro and asked the district for two accommodations: permission to distribute flyers at LOA and Greensboro Primary School, and to have district buses drop participating students at her facility.
"My after school tutoring program can help you achieve those goals," the teacher said, citing a 5 percentage-point increase in her students' milestone scores last year and noting the program will serve roughly ages 5 through 12, including middle-school grades.
She described the facility location precisely: "It's right across the street from the post office, 118 A Main Street, and it's across from Flip's, family barbecue," and said drop-offs could use the parking lot adjacent to the old Bridal Dollar store. She asked that the board allow buses to drop students there during the summer program and the coming school year.
A board member asked to confirm the ages served; the presenter replied the program covers grades that include elementary and middle school. The teacher said she was not asking the board to endorse or fund the business but only for permission to distribute materials and for routing consideration for student drop-offs.
The board did not announce a decision on the requests during the public comment segment; the items were entered into the meeting record for later staff follow-up.
