Public Meeting With Mr. Johnson

The Concerned Citizens Group is sponsoring a meeting with Mr. Brady Johnson, I-SS Interim Superintendent. The meeting is scheduled for Thursday, September 3^rd at 7:00 p.m. The meeting will be held in the media center at Statesville High School. You may park in front of the building or on side of the building facing the football stadium. Please enter through the doors on the front of the building.

This meeting is open to anyone who is interested in the operation of the Iredell-Statesville Schools. At the beginning of the meeting Mr. Johnson will inform everyone how the start of the school year is progressing as well as relate his goals and impressions as interim superintendent. That will be followed by a question and answer period. So, if you have questions about continuous testing, the implementation of the Baldrige plan, the school budget, disciplinary policies, or other school issues that need to be addressed, you will now have a chance to ask Mr. Johnson to respond to your question. Again, everyone is invited to attend the meeting and participate in the process of improving our school system. This meeting is for students, parents, grandparents, teachers, teacher assistants, and other I-SS employees. Let’s all come together for the sake of the students.

Everyone attending the meeting is asked to bring some school supplies to donate to be used in the classrooms. Of course, teachers attending the meeting should not feel obligated to bring school supplies since most teachers already provide supplies for their own classrooms. Teachers attending the meeting will get first pick of the donated school supplies.

Please Respect The Right Of Others To Disagree

I started this blog because I, and others, felt that certain issues about I-SS needed to be discussed and that there was information that needed to be shared. Even as Dr. Holliday leaves for Kentucky, I believe that the process needs to continue and I plan on being a part of that process. I am glad that this blog has given people on both sides of these issues a chance to speak out. I thank each of you for your comments. I take the time to read and consider all the comments, even the ones from individuals who do not agree with me. It is only with true discourse that we will find a resolution to these issues. I am asking everyone to please respect the right of each person to state his or her opinion. Do continue to leave your comments, but please do so without criticizing those persons with whom you disagree. I will do the same.
