October 6, 2006If I were superintendentIf I were the superintendent of the MMSD, I’d set the following as my highest management priorities: 1. Move the MMSD administration out of Stage 1 and toward Stage 5 on leadership and partnerships; 2. Focus on the MMSD’s core mission: education. That might mean finding other agencies to provide MSCR functions and summer food programs, for example; 3. Design and implement a budget system that allows for assessment and control of operational and curriculum expenditures by the board; 4. Innovate for achievement, beginning by initiating pilot projects staring with curriculum and charter schools and partnerships with other educational institutions to give MMSD students a wider range of academic choices. Hopefully, others will post thoughts on what their priorities might be as superintendent.
