A plan is being developed to hold a number of meetings on a smaller scale. In the Green Lake County community of Princeton, Great Schools has a different face but the same essence. Great Schools State Coordinator Karen West said Princeton holds meetings similar to School-Community Visions twice a year. A cross-section of the community comes together to discuss their visions and goals for the school district. In the five years since we started these meetings, support for local schools has risen dramatically.
Residents feel they have ownership of their schools.
Once you have ownership, you care about it and will take care of it. In Greenwood, every staff member, from administration to ESP, were interviewed. We are asking members to commit to some level of involvement in helping pro-public education candidates win election.
