This move from the current site, Kent-Mere dian'Highi;, to,Kent Junior i ..:. ..:. .... i High 'is? effective January 1 The Commission believes that there is A great need for the :programs services at Kent-Meridzan School.' However, since the services were not fully utilized by the students of Kent-Meridian High, the Commission will allow the program to be temporarily relocated to Kent Junior High for the duration of 1994. Upon the completion of the 1994 " contract year the Drop-In Center will be assessed to determine: where the most need exists. The Commission appreciates your initiative in bringing forth your concerns regarding the apparent: ineffectiveness of the current Drop-In Center. Perhaps by exploring a new site thet program's full potential can be realized. As stated, in our conversation, we look ;forward to meeting.:: with you ;, and: Kent-Meridian.. representatives so that: we `can formally`' discuss ' he !decision to relocate tI `e pro ram• ? • g If `you `have questions, please call me at 850-4789r sincere`lY, G; Rachel Y. hnston.
