I'm glad I attended last night's MISD Board Governance Community Forum . The school board members presented their proposal for changing the school mission and high-level strategic plan for the district, and then we discussed it. They divided the audience of roughly 100 people into small breakout sessions where we discussed specifics about two "ends policies", high-level statements of what MISD thinks students should be when they complete their education. Generally the discussion is very motherhood-and-apple-pie (who would disagree with the statement "students will demonstrate good character"?) so the proof will be in the follow-up meetings where all this gets translated into specific policies.
The best part was interacting with school board members, and I feel now that I know Leslie Ferrell, who was the board member who moderated my small group.
