Light a Candle for 281
http://speedgibson.powerblogs.com/posts/1205206672.shtml


   District 281 has begun its Strategic Planning process with the
   assistance of Dr. Bruce Miles. I was at the initial session with the
   Board at their work session this evening.
   It's time to light a candle rather than curse the darkness, at least
   until after the completed plan is adopted May 5, just eight short
   weeks from now. Most of tonight's session was spent determining the
   most effective ways of reaching the widest range of what such a
   process calls stakeholders. If you live in the 281 District, that's
   you. If you have students attending 281 schools, that's you. If you
   voted against the recent referendum, that's you, too.
   I have the Board's blessing to seek the participation of "the dark
   side" including those of you on "Care 281" committee. Numbers Guy in
   particular, we need to talk. Such an opportunity will not come again
   soon.
   I'm not promising anything, but I've spent enough time with the Board
   to know that this is a sincere effort. They are of course limited in
   their range of actions, as much by state regulations as money. But
   it's a start.
   If you're interested in joining one of the focus groups, please leave
   a comment or [1]email me or contact the District directly.
