Summer School

From: Gilhooly, Lou Ann Subject: For the Update EGOS Staff, I have received a couple of inquiries about summer school from the EGOS staff which prompted me to share the answer with the entire school. Due to significant budget reductions, there will be no high school diploma classes this summer. Consideration is being given to offering abbreviated GED summer school classes for high school and adult students. (Lou Ann)
