Students, parents and staff urge Warren Hills to restore swimming, winter track and drama teacher hours
Summary
More than 30 students, parents and staff urged the Warren Hills board to reinstate the district swimming program, winter track and return the drama teacher to full‑time status; board president said the board is awaiting updated health‑care cost figures expected in late July or August before making staffing decisions.
During the second public‑comment portion of the Warren Hills Regional Board of Education meeting on June 17, more than 30 students, parents and staff addressed the board urging reinstatement of the district's swimming and winter‑track programs and restoration of the drama teacher to full‑time status.
Speakers pressed the board on program restoration and staffing; the transcript records the board receiving those comments but does not list individual speaker names for the public remarks. Board President Alfred Coscia told the assembled speakers that the board anticipates updated health‑care cost figures in late July or August and therefore is not in a position to make final staffing or program restoration decisions until that information is available.
Mrs. Marshall moved to close the public session at 9:05 p.m.; the meeting adjourned at 9:07 p.m. The board did not take further action on the requested program restorations at that meeting and signaled that any decisions would follow consideration of the upcoming health‑care cost data and subsequent budgetary adjustments.
