She says steering committee members want reassurance from the district "that students aren't going to be moved into the building in September and be forgotten about."
"They want a written guarantee," she says. "That's kind of sad."
The steering committee will meet again Monday at the Fletcher school. The event had been planned as a major community dinner for Area Four, the Cambridge neighborhood that houses the Fletcher and Maynard. But Jennings says the dinner was canceled when the steering committee failed to agree on a recommendation on the new school's facility.
According to Jennings, other work of the steering committee--such as coordinating teacher training programs for new literacy and technology initiatives--has progressed more smoothly.
The steering committee communicates regularly with parents via a newsletter called "Merger Matters."
Talks are ongoing with the teachers union about changes related to the merger.
