I do wonder about what some people consider "good" communication. Even when the district/board/or unions communicate, many people do not believe what is being said.<br /><br />I for one would like to see HONEST, OPEN, and INFORMED communication.Debbienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-458983694008388961.post-63221748360797351912010-06-28T09:22:48.033-07:002010-06-28T09:22:48.033-07:00communication within MDUSD has been rather abysmal...communication within MDUSD has been rather abysmal for decades and it needs to be fixed. i don't know about the school level but each principal should have a monthly newsletter posted on the schools web site (if they don't have one by now they need to get one) as well as being available in hard copy for those who have limited or no web access. each PTA/PTSA/PFC should have a monthly newsletter with a copy of the minuets of the most recent meeting and what their plans/concerns for the future might be. the district needs to have at least a once per month bulletin highlighting what's transpired at board meetings (offical minutes would be best), what's happening with state and federal laws that might/will have an impact on the district, a who's who/who's new, what's going on with the various committees that report to the board and what's been accomplished and what's on tap in reguards to bond expenditures. it should also include any and all crime related items for each school as well as any awards for teachers/administrators/student organizations. we're constantly reading about 'stuff' happening within the district either online or in the newspaper and this is wrong, we should hear it from the district. in a district this large you cannont over communicate, unfortunately this district has excelled in under communicating and it needs to be changed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
