We have hundreds of school-community partnership activities going on now. The first order of business is to make sure we evaluate their effectiveness in achieving quality public education in our community. We also want to establish a tracking or clearinghouse electronic database that collects and assesses information about the costs and benefits of partnership activities. This first year's implementation schedule calls for publishing a district master calendar of events to help families coordinate their school schedules. The first CFSD calendar has been published by and is available through our CFSD Foundation.
Calendars are also available at each of our schools.
The first year's action plan also calls for maintaining a legislative action committee. The primary purpose of this committee is to make sure our community is informed and ready to take an active role in state level issues that impact education. This legislative committee is being organized this fall. If you have an interest in participating, call me at 299-6446. We already have a highly successful community education program staffed by high quality people.
