Good Things at the Board Meeting
The kids from Maple Elementary came and did a wonderful dragon dance to welcome in the new year. Great fun.
Also, 38 more teachers were recognized for being board-certified. According to the Board, our district is 5th in the nation for the number of board-certified teachers. Good for all those teachers. (I will try to give a breakdown of where all these newly-certified teachers come from but unfortunately, Cathy Thompson only said their name and not their school.)
Lots of good input from mostly elementary science teachers on the importance of equity in science teaching for ALL children. They also worry over the fact that most of their funding comes from grants (not a stable source)
