New School Board Member Ellen M. Purdy attended her first meeting this week along with fellow newcomer Ilka Chavez and new Superintendent Dr. Catherine Magouyrk.
But before that she was busy gathering comments, requests, observations, and recommendations from parents, educators and residents, among others, in an effort to come up with an "overarching vision and framework to stimulate a discussion of a future direction for our schools."
"Since you have been generous in sharing your thoughts in the past, I’d very much appreciate your response to the ideas," Purdy wrote in an email. "Tell me what you think is knuckle-headed, misguided, needs improvement, or if you like something. My intent is to be as responsive to parents, educators and residents as I can."
Read Purdy's ideas to stimulate discussion for moving Manassas City Public Schools forward in the PDF above, and then tell us in the comment section below what you think about the ideas and talking points put forth in the document.
Sounds like it be could your computer. When I click the PDF it enlarges the PDF to a much larger view. By design, it is not supposed to take you to a different document. A the top of the PDF you can click "view in fullscreen" which will make the document as big as your computer screen is.
