The Neighborhood and School Collaborative (NSC) is a group of residents, Tom Newton (MHS Principal), and several members of the School Board trying to improve communications between neighborhood residents and the school district with a goal of avoiding further legal challenges and valuable school funding going to attorneys. The NSC believes that students are best served by residents working together with our schools and district leadership, as in “it takes a village.” One of NSC’s earlier successes was to replace the older outward facing night lights at MHS with more modern down-facing LED lighting with motion sensors, making it much more pleasant to surrounding neighbors.
The NSC organized a Public Outreach Meeting with high school and district leadership regarding the High School Field Improvement Project that took place on Thursday, September 7th, 5:30-7pm at MHS. You can see the NSC Mission Statement here.
Please email NSC.Monterey@gmail.com with any questions, comments and ideas for bringing the community and schools together in support of all our students. We hope to organize another meeting to address the potential new bond for teacher housing.
