I’ve said that I want to see a solution that takes into account ideas and thoughts from both sides of the aisle so we can meet the needs of the District. To that end, I’ve set up a public forum on my website – there’s just three topics there right now – Academics, Athletics, Maintenance. I have a couple of sub-groups, and places for DHS, or HPHS only items..

Or click on PLANNING FORUMS…

We can create any number of sub-topics we want, have attachments, etc. All are welcome, anyone can participate – so long as they’re not making personal attacks, I’m not planning on banning people or moderating the comments.

Examples:

• One group could delve into the issues dealing with the pool @ HPHS another at the DHS pool
• Lack of an indoor track at DHS
• Safety improvements at the HPHS indoor track
• Safety issues at the schools – let students or teachers post things that they consider unsafe
• Maintenance issues – let students or teachers post things they consider to require maintenance. Even better if they post how it’s adversely affecting the educational process
• Technology: I’d really like to know how they plan to use it. What’s it going to do to improve the education of the students? I’d love to hear from some teachers, students. We might get some really great ideas that could save us money in the long run.
