State School Board Meeting Hi all, This week's email is pretty direct. We need to focus on one thing and help make it happen. Yesterday I sent out an email containing a letter Mark Cluff (state school board member) sent to the other state school board members concerning splitting large school districts. Today the state school board met and discussed it but those in favor of the motion couldn't muster a majority. Two board members were absent from the meeting. The following table shows the state school board members and where they stand. Those in the undecided category need to get emails or phone calls lobbying them to split large districts and need to have expressed to them the roadblocks large districts pose to education.
You can get their email addresses and phone numbers from this page: http://www.usoe.k12.ut.us/board/1members.htm There are those in the legislature that worry about giving the state school board the authority to do anything such as split a district apart, but when you start looking at this type of event, if a local school district can't figure out how to split themselves, or if the best plan of action is to take two districts and turn them into three, who is going to do that but the state school board? The legislature isn't going to touch it and they'll look to set up a committee or something so it only makes sense to let the state board handle it. If you missed reading Mark's letter, here it is again:
In God We Trust Donations I am very grateful for those of you that have contributed to the poster project. We have over $600 collected and need less than $900 to put these posters up in every single classroom of the district. Please contribute just a few dollars. $25 will pay for all the posters for one school in the district but even $5-10 will help us reach the goal. I know one person asked if their kids could go out and collect from neighbors for this. YES. Please tell people about this and lets put these posters in every classroom. http://www.oaknorton.com/donationpage.cfm Weekly Comic Archive: http://www.weaponsofmathdestruction.com Till next week, Oak Norton |
