Well I may have jinxed it when my President's note in yesterday's newsletter indicated the UIL sports discussion appeared to be tabled.  I was just notified by a diligent CVHS parent that a DEC meeting notice was just posted to the HISD website. Per his email:

It appears that the DEC meeting to discuss UIL athletics at Carnegie (and other magnets) has just been posted to the HISD web site:  http://www.houstonisd.org/Page/41608.  It will be held at HISD headquarters on this coming Monday morning, February 1st at 7:30 AM.
 
We strongly encourage as many parents as possible to attend AND sign up to speak on behalf of Carnegie.  The phone number to call to sign up is 713-556-6913.  
 
A note to coaches, teachers, and parents, who have all been a part of our discussions and efforts over the last few months - from all we've heard, this is the meeting that matters most in determining whether Carnegie can continue to offer its students the opportunity to participate in UIL athletics.  Please pass this information along to the various other concerned groups (i.e., student-athletes and parents from all sports) to ensure they are aware and encourage them to organize, attend, and hopefully speak at the meeting as well.

We need to stand strong against this committee as it will make recommendation to the board.  I hope to see many parents there on Monday morning so we can show them CVHS does not back down!
