School Board Meeting Agenda 4-6-16
I attended the controversial school board meeting held on April 6, 2016. The most intriguing discussion/debate was in regards to the renaming of Godwin Middle School. The neutral stance of school leaders was the most note-worthy. When discussing the controversial topic, school leaders provided clear, concise details for the reasoning behind the renaming. Additionally, the school board approved several events and projects for next year’s calendar.
Throughout the school board meeting, I noted that although opinions varied on the renaming of the middle school, school leaders provided valid reasoning behind their decision-making and involved many stakeholders in the process. At the conclusion of the debate, school leaders acknowledged that all opinions were taken into consideration, but the board would make a decision based on what was best for the school division. Since I have never attended a school board meeting prior to this experience, it was rewarding to see how the meeting was facilitated and what roles everyone plays in the process.
Since I will be presenting for my school at the May 18th board meeting, I will use the skills learned from this experience to be well-prepared for my presentation and future experiences. Additionally, I will continue to fine-tune my facilitation skills in order to produce beneficial conversations to effectively accomplish a task.
