We Know Not -- If we ASK NOT!

In preparation for the Town Hall Meeting hosted by the PPS Superintendent – Dr. Gallon III – this THURSDAY, August 28, at 7PM, Washington Community School, 427 Darrow Avenue, Plainfield -- I thought it would be helpful to repost the Dr.’s 5 Core Goals.

We should look at these goals and translate them into viable concerns and questions that will lead to a productive conclusion. Let us not resort to a combative stance that will render this opportunity void of all relevance and progress towards the greater good of our community – An Educational System – “SECOND to N.O.N.E.!”

And in no particular order…

• PPS Goal: Learning Outcomes
• PPS Goal: Human Resources Optimization
• PPS Goal: Business Practice Optimization
• PPS Goal: Safe Learning Environment
• PPS Goal: Community Involvement

Here is a list of possible questions that are applicable to all five of these goals:

1. What is it?

2. How will it be measured?

3. Can you provide an example of what this looks like now and what the proposed future state will look like?

4. How does it map into the overarching goal of creating a better school system within our community?

5. What are the rewards and/or ramifications of goal attainment and respectively non-attainment?

Please come out and bring with you the passion and commitment for AUTHENTIC CHANGE!

We have not (or KNOW not) – if we ask Not!
