Deciding on a New Director of Schools

Whether you have children in our school system or not, the next Director of Schools is a hot topic. And all the more reason for all of us to attend the upcoming Community Forum on the subject. The Tennessee School Boards Association is hosting the forum Tuesday, August 19, at the Ann Marks Performing Arts Center. It begins at 6:30 p.m.

This is the time to say what we are looking for in a director and also to voice opinion on the system in general. You're going to agree with some things said, and disagree with others. Regardless, let's go in with open minds and plan to speak our peace.

If we can't effectively communicate our feelings and desires for our schools, why would we expect things to get better ... or different?

Those TSBA folks aren't mind readers, ya know.
