Tweet from the district about priorities for 2014-2015 : During a retreat today, the School Board picked its top governance priorities for the 2014-15 school year: bell times analysis, multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS), special education and stewardship of resources/internal controls. First, shouldn't these "priorities" have been set at the end of the school year (so that everyone comes to the first day of school with those in mind)? Second, someone would have to define the last priority, " stewardship of resources/internal controls." If it means getting on the good foot for operations and watching over the dollars (like not spending them on pre-K junkets), great news. In other news: On district-given assessments :
