In Your Opinion: Young Parents Should Attend School District Planning Meetings

By Bill Connell, Somerset.

Regardless of the fact that my kids have graduated, I attended two different planning sessions for the school district: The referendum restructuring and the district’s long term planning meetings.

I estimate and plan for living and I am working on my 26th and 27th school play for the district. When I am on a golf course, I don’t think and plan that much, but I enjoy looking at chaos, bringing order to it and finishing a plan. I think that is what brought me to the meetings. I still had the feeling I was in a Woody Allen movie asking myself “What am I doing here?” Planning a school district is not as simple as a few calculations or bossing a few well meaning parents around.
