DETAILS: The
Windsor Republican Candidates are planning a Listening Forum in order to
prepare for the tremendous responsibility we will have when we are elected this
coming November 5th for the Board of Education.
A Listening Forum is an opportunity for Windsor residents to
come together and share their perspectives. It is hoped that by
listening to the concerns, insights, and general observations regarding the
Windsor Public School System, we will be in a better position to represent the
diverse needs of the community.
The first forum will be centered primarily on the experience
of students. There are two
subsequent Listening Forums scheduled for October 3rd and October 24th. On the 3rd we hope that
parents will lead the discussion and share their perspective on fostering
achievement. The final forum will seek
input from community members who wish to reflect on the dialogue from the first
two forums and identify any remaining issues.
Some questions that we would like to ask a group of
graduates include:
1)
As a student, what did you believe your role
was?
2)
What were the highlights of your time in the Windsor
School System?
3)
How could your experiences have been improved?
4)
What were some of the lessons learned that
contribute to your life today?
Please know that you
can still attend if you are only interested in listening, and if you are
unable to make it you can read a blog that will note the general themes of the
Listening Forum through the Windsor Patch by the end of the following weekend.
Please remember that specialty baked goods and ice cream
will be available for purchase.
Also, thank you Get Baked for being open late on Thursday
evenings : )
