The Citywide PTO comprises representatives from each school. Citywide PTO will meet regularly on the first Tuesday of each month, at 9:05 in the Superintendent’s conference room with the exception of November and January, when the meetings will be held on the second Tuesday of the month. Meetings are open to the public and typically occur in the Superintendent’s Conference Room at Central Administration.

The Hoover School Citywide representative is Sue Federico (662-0993).  Sue provides monthly reports on the meetings at the PTO meeting, and these are published on the Website.

Right now, each PTO will have to pull its own gaming license; at this

• We discussed the possibility of a district wide Lowell Devils
fundraiser…we decided to let each PTO determine if they want to
pursue it.
 
• We discussed the possibility of staggering times for middle and
elementary school holiday early releases, to make it easier for parents
to pick up siblings. We also discussed the fact that high school
students were released immediately after the Pep rally, which ended at
11:30, much to the surprise of the parents who came to pick them up
at noon time. What is the district’s responsibility when releasing
unsupervised teenagers early?
