MCHS parent group to meet tonight

The Moffat County High School Parent Accountability Committee is scheduled to meet from 6 to 7 p.m. today in the high school library. The meeting is open to the public.

Meetings begin with a “let’s listen” session for parents to voice their concerns and commendations to the group. Whenever needed, additional time and research are devoted to the concerns.

Parent Accountability meetings serve as an advisory for high school principal Jane Harmon, and a sounding board for new ideas, materials, concepts and concerns from the community. Revisions in high school policies are reviewed, and recommendations are made to the principal.
