The Budget Challenge 2010 meetings continue next week and NVPAC is encouraging parents to attend and give input into this district prioritization process.
7 p.m. November 18, 2009: Sutherland Secondary, 1860 Sutherland Avenue
The meeting will use a World Café format to discuss issues raised during the initial discussion process in smaller groups. In particular this meeting will look at “How do we define student achievement and how much program diversity can we afford?”
At issue here is how the district can organize itself to ensure students reach their achievement goals and to what extent the school district can and should provide programs to meet the diverse needs of individual students rather than concentrating all of the districts funds on meeting the needs of most students with higher overall quality programs.
The meeting is expected to start with an overview of the purpose of the meeting and then move into a discussion of the budget proposals that have been developed under the five themes discussed at the Oct. 20th meeting: Instructional practice, Program Diversity, Community Connections, Facilities, Information and Communications Technology.
