Arnold Elementary School PTA

CAC-Community Action Committee

Let me introduce myself, I am Kerry Petz the new CAC chair of Arnold Elementary School. My son Jacob just started kindergarten with Ms. Basarab.  We live here in Arnold and have been concerned with the school and local area development for years.

This year the goal of the Arnold CAC is to push for a Feasibility Study ASAP for our school. We can do this by speaking at Board of Education meetings, County Council Meetings and writing to our officials about our concerns.  This needs to be done as a united front and on a consistent basis.

Arnold Elementary consistently receives some of the highest test scores in the county, has a phenomenal faculty, and a highly dedicated PTA.    With that being said, the school has one of the worst condition scores in the county.  There is no way to add on to Arnold Elementary with the way it is situated on the property.  A feasibility study will determine the best way to remodel, rebuild or renovate our school so that we can have a dedicated gymnasium, larger library, classrooms and auditorium to seat all our students and families. 

This effort will cost you nothing but a little bit of time.  Below you will find information on meetings to attend, whom you can write letters to and how you can show support for Arnold Elementary.  Feel free to contact me at with any questions or recommendations.
