Dear Home School Parents,

I would first like to apologize for my first contact with you coming so late in the summer.
I have had a number of issues that have taken up a great deal of my first few weeks here
at Central Linn; no slight was intended.

I would like to continue the Central Linn/Home School connection. Obviously we have
had a setback in the loss of leadership in the program, complicated further by me being
on the job for all of 6 weeks. To get to the heart of parent needs, and for the district to be
able to allocate scarce resources efficiently, I think we need to get everyone who is
interested in being involved together at the same time. Next Thursday, August 18th, at the
Central Linn School District office at 6pm seemed to be the best option. I am seeking an
open and constructive conversation to see if we can put together a viable and enriching
program for the 2011-12 school year. Everyone with interest is encouraged to attend.

Thank you for your time and commitment to children,

Brian Gardner
Superintendent
CENTRAL LINN SCHOOL DISTRICT
