State of Schools Meeting on Oct. 18

The Oct. 18 meeting of the CPC, held at the Butler School, was the annual address by the Superintendent. A new interactive format piloted last year calls for questions at key moments during the presentation. This was further augmented by a new feature that allowed viewers to email questions directly to the meeting. Since the meeting was broadcast live, thanks to the hard-working folks at Ch. 22, those watching from home could participate in the meeting. It was a great success and made for a dynamic and informative meeting.

I think we'll be trying this out more often in the future as it seems to be a way to encourage parent involvement, even when parents can't get out to the meetings.
