We, the undersigned, ask that the current presidents of the SOCES Booster Club and the PTSA be included in the SOCES principal hiring committee. These organizations and their leaders, as stakeholders in the school, represent our parents and our students on a daily basis. They are rooted in the fact that they know firsthand what our children need in the broadest sense. In these times of financial distress, these organizations are more important than ever, so the presence of these organizations' presidents on this committee is both crucial and mandatory. Thank you.
