So, the stock market is showing signs of life and housing trends in various areas seem to be indicating that the recession is starting to change. In fact, President Obama said just yesterday that the worst is behind us. I am hoping this isn't similar call to arms as "Mission Accomplished." The systems appear to moving in a forward slant but the schools are crippled and left like homes after a hurricane.
This is a time for schools to rally and become creative to help secure the programs they desperately need. One of the pieces I have been looking at is the idea of bringing corporations (or wealthy individuals) that need altruistic tax related exemptions to the need of our schools by adopting a school to receive one or more of a series of trainings and/or services. We need to rethink our services as principals are losing assistant principals and some of the best young teachers are out of work.
As I try to restart this blog, and keep my mind moving, I hope people read these words and reach out to find out how they can help the schools in a direct, meaningful way.
