Not a good one! That's what. The Policy Office is in the process of reviewing academic policies and seeking teachers who want to participate in an input session. The main goal is to align proposed policies with current teaching practices and establish the necessary processes/systems to help teachers and students reach our Destination 2025 goals. Who could possibly have better insight on this than teachers? The input session will take place on
Tuesday, March 27, from 3:30 - 5:30 pm in the Barnes Building of the BOE, conference Room 214. Spaces are limited, so please
RSVP by COB Friday, March 23, to Alisha Green at
