Since I have successfully attended three LSC meetings (two each for Bennett/Shedd Elementary and one for Harlan High School) before 2010 came to a close. I'm going to go for both this month as the schools have returned to session in the new year.
To clarify, yes Bennett School (located @ 10115 South Prairie Avenue) isn't in the 6th Ward. It's just south of the Calumet (Bishop Ford) Expressway in the 9th Ward. However, Shedd School (located @ 200 E. 99th Street) which is located in the 6th Ward is connected with Bennett School as it is considered a branch. Thus the Bennett LSC is also over Shedd School. Their meeting is scheduled on January 12, 2011 @ 3:30 PM. Check out this LSC meeting dates for Bennett/Shedd.
Harlan's LSC (located @ 9652 S. Michigan Ave.) will meet on January 20, 2011 @ 6:30 PM. You can check out dates for Harlan's events through their official website.
I sincerely hope that I won't be the only member of the public to attend either meeting as had happened at both Harlan's and Bennett's past meetings. It is my belief the community should know what's going on at their neighborhood schools as in some way what goes on or doesn't go on will affect us in someway in the future.
Also, in recent months a community representative at Ruggles School @ 7831 S. Prairie Ave has reached out to the blog. Hopefully in future the community could pay a visit to LSC meeting there as well. I expect to post a notice for future meetings there, but the Ruggles LSC usually meets on the last Thursday of every month.
