Thursday Meeting

We had a good meeting Thursday evening with everyone sharing his or her ideas. Of course one of the topics of discussion was the adaptation of the Baldrige method within the school system. Some of the other topics discussed were the lack of administrative support for the teachers, the quality of education received by the students, school expenditures, central office administration, school policies being disregarded by the School Board and the administration, and the apparent administrative disregard of the concerns of parents and grandparents.

Unfortunately only about a dozen people attended the meeting in addition to the four who organized the meeting. Therefore, one of the immediate goals that we talked about was to increase the membership of the group. Of course, if we don't have a strong group we will not be able to get much accomplished. Hopefully, if you were not able to be at this meeting you will be able to attend Tuesday's meeting. The other initial goals that we developed are to support the teachers, to continue to investigate I-SS finances, to continue to examine school policies, and to consider initiating proposals for new I-SS as allowed for under current school policy.

Again, everyone is encouraged to attend Tuesday's meeting at 7:45 p.m. in Meeting Room A at the Iredell County Library.
