The tools they need

MPS School Board member Danny Goldberg poses a touchy question regarding functional plans that are guiding implementation of the "Working Together, Achieving More" strategic plan. The Board and the State Department of Public Instruction can make the plans useless simply by going in another direction, he said.

"What are the ways that we as a board and also our partners in Madison can understand the way we have decided to prioritize and the implications of the changes to priorities that might ensue when we change our minds?" he asked.

The discussion occurred at the December meeting of the Strategic Planning and Budget Committee.
