PTA seeks stronger public voice in New Castle schools
A New Castle parents group urged the school board to form a Citizens Advisory Committee to increase public input. Diana George of the PTA proposed volunteer help in classrooms and libraries, hot lunches for bused youngsters, and expanded parent advisory councils to review all school problems. The board heard from booster president Roberta Carvella requesting $39,000 for 180 new band uniforms, with a committee reviewing options. A new visitor policy was tabled for next month, and turnout at the meeting was the highest in two years.
