...offered parents the opportunity to communicate their concerns in two public input sessions this week. “This is to put to rest this whole hubbub,” Fowler-Finn told the audience on Wednesday night. The meetings were a result of the district’s Blue Ribbon Commission on Middle School Education, a formalized effort to study and improve the city’s middle school system.
