Hi neighbors, Does anyone have a recommendation of a local accountant for our taxes? We would prefer an independent CPA, rather than a chain like H & R Block. Thanks!

I hope that you will make time in your busy schedule to see what is happening in your neighborhood, as well as with the future of the Pittsburgh Schools.

I apologize that it has taken us a few days to confirm the details of our attendance. We wanted to be very accurate with our response. We know that successful, high-achieving public schools are a critical asset to the community, and we're looking forward to opening a dialogue about some of the great things being launched at the Pittsburgh Public Schools. Attending from PPS: Derrick Lopez, Chief of High School reform Cate Reed, a Broad Resident in the Office of High School reform Greg Acton, the project manager for the consulting firm whose local office worked with the district on a pro-bono basis regarding the Promise Agenda: --10-15 minutes on the Pittsburgh Promise. The Promise aims at fundamental revitalization of the City of Pittsburgh through raising student achievement. Why is it needed? What are the concrete goals? What would potential investors/donors have to believe? What will it take to be successful? --10-15 minutes on High School reform. What are the Year 1 pathways to the Promise? How is PPS going to get students ready to "plan and prepare" for college? What is the Robotics program coming to Peabody? --10-15 minutes Q&A We are looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. Cheers, Cate Reed Pittsburgh Public Schools Office of High School Reform 341 S.
