We have not set district goals for our administrators. We have not updated any of the policies. Measured in BOE meetings, 10% of my term is already over. <br /><br />I believe the board has a mindset that things take time, we're just volunteers, and the administrators handle all the daily stuff. <br /><br />Given the urgency and importance of ensuring our students receive a sound education, I believe it's a grave mistake to rely upon the administration for every good idea or allow things to take longer than necessary. <br /><br />Every board member would like to see things move faster but I don't see the pushing. At the next meeting, I intend to start pushing and I'm hoping to have the board's support.Aberdeenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14593197510549429078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099245919524883845.post-81534175545294680552009-07-06T12:43:44.912-04:002009-07-06T12:43:44.912-04:00Aberdeener,

It's not really a new idea, just something you would think a board member would already know about. I know kids who took it as an elective class in Matawan about 5 years ago. I think it was discontinued because the oversight was poor with kids not really performing the hours and getting the credit. I would tell you to ask someone but everyone involved has since left or been non-renewed since then. Hey, Joey you would be wise to start learning from the past instead of running from it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
