Lutherville Lab Report

What's gone down & what's coming up at the leopards' lair.

October 13th, 2023

Lutherville Families,

This week the second meeting of the Central Area Capacity Relief Boundary Study was held. The committee has reviewed 5 options to date. It is strongly recommended that all families stay up-to-date on the committee activity. Information can be found on the Boundary Study website, and at Fall Family Night the PTA will host a classroom where information will be provided and families can learn more about the process. All 5 options presented to the Committee to date have significant portions of the Lutherville student body being shifted to other schools.

We're happy to share that our appeal for additional club sponsor funding was approved and we have completed all the necessary paperwork for our clubs to launch. Some have done so this week, but it is not too late to get involved! Please see the attachment to this newsletter for descriptions of club offerings and contact information to get your child connected.

Finally, in light of the tragic global events that have unfolded this week, we also want to share a BCPS landing page for resources for supporting and talking with your child about the global crisis should the need arise.
