|
The following Email was sent or communicated to those running for School Board: Dear candidates for District 5 School Board: (except Beth Burn whose email I cannot find and will telephone) Before the constituents of Quail Valley and Harbison, and related communities vote this year, I would like to ask a couple of questions of all of you.
Respectfully yours: V. Bruce Innocenti Magnet School Task Force Member |
|
These are the responses:
Bruce thank you for caring and being inlvolved. I am a supporter of what your
committee recommended and have been trying to get magnet schools in this end of
the district since I served as SIC chair at Irmo high School. Please know that
I do not want to see any neighborhood school closed and would support
innovative ideas that revitilize our older communities while supporting needed
new schools. We have to prioritize . As a current classroom teacher my focus
will be cirriculum and classroom programs. I want to empower teachers. Only
they really know the needs of our students. The 9 months your group spent on
this issue should count. As I told you on the phone, I felt this study should
have been done way befor it was an some of us board members had made suggestions
earlier about the k-3rd grade aschool and pull students from all the distrct
area. |
