Looking to Help
Put Together a Fundraiser?
The EPE family is always in support of those looking to help provide more resources for our students. The best way to do that is to help raise support financially so we can be fiscally responsible.

Public Participation Rules
Anyone may speak to an item on the agenda or bring forth an issue, during the Public Participation portion of the agenda by signing up prior to the meeting using this Google form while there are virtual meetings. The public has the option to submit a written statement that would be read aloud by the LSC or they can speak themselves. When meetings will be in person, there will be a sign-up sheet to speak that must be completed prior to the start of the meeting.
Speakers are asked to limit their opening comments to 2 minutes, if possible, and be prepared to answer questions about their comments.
The comments, questions, and concerns brought up during public participation will be heard by the LSC members, and those items that may need to be addressed will be considered for future LSC meetings or be addressed by the Principal outside of the actual meeting.
