Sherry, don’t you have to approve the application for the government money ? And isn’t that based on these school plans ?

Because they were on the agenda as informational not action items. I can only approve action items.

Did you read the plans? I have. You will notice that there has been much work put into these. The principals at Shore Acres and Bel Air will be replaced. Staff and parents worked on these and reviewed them. Did you not see the increased development of staff or the increase in instructional minutes. Please don’t make comments until you understand the data and read the plans.

Sounds like just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titantic. New titles, same people, no new job descriptions. Very vague. No detailed plan. No vision from the Superintendent. Each school coming up with their own plan — isn’t that how they got into trouble ?
No reform here. Just hocus pocus to apply for new funding and promote the totally bogus bond issue.
