Our Board of Education Goals
Posted by mevingham on September 10, 2009
Our Board of Education really is a great Board of Education. I am not just saying that because I like who they are as people and because I appreciate the hours of their time they give to our school. They go beyond that. They are learners. They are caring about our students, and they are appreciative of our school administrators and their efforts each day.
Last week, our Board of Education set their yearly goals.
- They want to be sure to try to maintain the staff that we have in our district as we go through our next budget season. We had to make some deep cuts last year, and that was so hard on every person in our district. I appreciate that they are striving to provide the best possible education for our students and to provide for each student and their needs accordingly.
- They want more information on 21st Century Learning Skills (Tony Wagner) and the work of Daniel Pink. They are proud of our student assessment scores, and they also want to support our teachers and administrators as we strive to go beyond just the test scores.
- They also want to learn more about our administrative work. They are going to come to Board of Ed meetings half hour early over the next year and meet one-on-one with our administrative team members. I am very excited because this is the time for us to delve a bit deeper into our work and share our projects, day-to-day work and our vision for next steps in each of our positions. How cool is that?
Thank you to our Board of Education for learning and growing with us and being dedicated to our school district!
