Facing Change
have matured with the
younger families residing in
other parts of our county. The
former children have grown,
graduated and moved on to
another community to raise
their own children and thus,
the cycle continues.
Moreover, the high cost
of transportation and fuel can
not be dismissed. As good
stewards, we must summon
the will and courage to redis
trict our schools more closely
aligned within their own
neighborhoods all-the-while
ensuring an equitable alloca
tion of resources. Still, know
ing and understanding the
logic and reasoning behind
the process does not minimize
the collision of emotion and
logic.
If we are to be success
ful in our journey to World
Class, together we must face
redistricting with frankness,
with our eyes clearly focused
on the goal of creating greater
communities within our
schools, supporting our
schools, and infusing our
schools with the energies nec
essary to produce an educa
tional outcome second to
none.
Instant redistricting is
foolhardy. Instant redistrict
ing is often accomplished in a
closed room with only a map
and population grids without
regard for the broader scope
and relationship between
communities. Instant redis
tricting is an instant recipe for
failure. On the other hand,
successful redistricting is a
... Continued from page 3
process not an instant fix,
encouraging input from the
total community. Successful
redistricting is formulated in
the light of day as a public
process with credibility and
community ownership; it is
not achieved in a vacuum.
And successful redistricting is
accomplished with due regard
for the present but also with
an eye to the future.
Regardless, once the smoke
clears and attendance zones
are drawn three elements will
remain that deserve measured
yet deliberate consideration -
the important issues, height
ened emotions and relevant
questions.
My father taught me
three very valuable lessons to
live by; learn from your mis
takes, listen to your com
plaints and always keep your
promises. In my four year
tenure I have endeavored to
be responsive to all three. As
we move forward with the
redistricting process, trans
parency will be our mode of
operation. We will listen,
learn, and where mistakes are
evident; they will be correct
ed. Most importantly, we will
keep our promise to maintain
our focus on the larger goal,
excellence in education.
This is your school sys
tem, your schools and I am
responsible as your steward of
trust. As this process begins
and moves forward, our entire
school system emphatically
elicits your opinions, input
and support. All Means All!
