Superintendent David Quattrone, Assistant Superintendents Dan Carlin and John Kehoe, and Pupil Personnel Services Director Rachel Kelly provided a overview of district wide services to the Board of Education at its December meeting. Following three earlier reports - one from each school principal, this final presentation completed the overall picture of staffing, current programs, and recent progress.The Board has charged the administration with preparing a zero-increase budget. Quattrone said, "It would be fair to say that the Board is reexamining the relationship between resources available and educational excellence. This series of presentations has been designed to provide the information and background needed to decide what constitutes a model of excellence that is sustainable in a time of economic scarcity, not just this year but in the years to come."
This most recent review touched on various elements of district management and leadership, including communications, fiscal stewardship, technology, facilities, quality of teaching, and student services. It referred to the strategic plan recommendations of 2005, international indicators of excellence, and the status of various improvement efforts.
