Hey NK residents, are you free tonight? The school board would like to talk

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

It will be an interesting meeting for the NK School Board tonight – one that interested board-watchers and community members shouldn’t miss.

First Dan Delaney will officially resign. There’s also a farewell event for him on Friday afternoon at 4 pm in the board room, 18360 Caldart in Poulsbo.

Second, the board will probably adopt the resolution to put a school support levy on the ballot in February. This has been talked about for several months. The resolution will make it official.

Third, the board is inviting community members in for a conversation about communications. There are some proposals on the table for improving communications. Read them here.

Also, the district is conducting an online survey about communications. Take it here.

The meeting starts at 7. See you there.

Did you attend the policy governance meeting in NK last night?

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

Hello Everyone

Unfortunately due to a family issue I was unable to attend the policy governance community meeting at North Kitsap High School last night. Reader Mick Sheldon, and I’m sure others, are asking for more information about the meeting. If you were there, please leave a comment with your impressions of the meeting.

Thanks so much.

Marietta

Two important education events in Kitsap this week

Monday, September 21st, 2009

Tonight the League of Women Voters hosts a candidate forum for the Bremerton School Board races. The event begins at 7 pm at the Norm Dicks Government Center in downtown Bremerton.

Tomorrow night (Tuesday) the North Kitsap School Board will hold a community forum to discuss policy governance, a new operational method of running school board business. The meeting will be held at Kingston High School at 7 pm.

 Board members and Superintendent Rick Jones want to give information about policy governance and then hear what folks have to say about the proposal. The board discussed the issue at the last meeting on Sept. 10, but I was the only non-staff member in attendance at that meeting. Board member Melanie Mohler in particular asked for two public meetings (one in Kingston and one in Poulsbo) because she wanted more community awareness and input. For background on NK’s policy governance proposal check this story.
