There are only a few days left to this Thursday's deadline for questions and comments re the proposal. Please email your questions to qandafamilies@cap.education.There’s a template at top of the petition. Please spread the word on your social networks, or re-send if you have already.

In a welcome development, we met on Monday with Sara Garnham, Andrew Hutchinson, and Janet Swadling, three of the CAP Directors, at Parkside School. We presented the perspective of the thousands of people in the Cambridge area affected by the recently announced UL proposal. Andy accepted an invitation to participate in the next meeting of the full board, to present our case.

In only a week, it’s amazing to receive over 250 signatures. It’s heartening that CAP is listening to our petition. Still, we have no assurance yet of a thorough and transparent consultation, to include talks with other local MATs. So be sure to email your questions and objections to CAP, and keep spreading the word!
