From the Superintendent’s Desk July 6, 2010 The last weeks of the school year are a mix of many emotions. Students moving up, students moving on, retirements and other transitions among our staff make for an added flurry of activity. Some notable points at the close of the year include:
We have, at this writing, filled four of the five principal vacancies as follows:
Vacancies still exist for Assistant Superintendent of Schools and Director of Special Education. In the interim, Paula Alexander, the Assistant Director of Special Education, has been named Acting Director of Special Education. This has been a great year for many reasons in the district but one I’d like to highlight is parent involvement at the district level. More parents have been involved and have been able to find an arena for their voice to be heard through the rebirth of the Citywide Parent Advisory Council, better participation in the Citywide PTO and Open Parent Forums to hear the parents’ perspective on the Elementary School Challenge Program, redistricting and input on the School Operating Budget. We look to expand those opportunities in the future. Thank you for all your support, your help and your feedback. Have an enjoyable and safe summer and we’ll see you in September.
