A few general questions about this initiative:
- Does it make sense to spend any time on this now, given that the MMSD will have a new Superintendent in 2008?
- If the problem is preparation, then should the focus not be on elementary and middle schools?
- The committee’s composition (this link includes quite a bit of discussion) does not inspire much confidence with respect to community, teacher and student involvement.
