Champaign Schools Community Forum

Please find attached pdf flyers for the first of the Unit 4 Community Forums to be held for the purpose of listening to the community about our schools. It will be held at Centennial High School March 12 at 6:30 pm.

(beware, personal opinion)
While I am not yet confident in this process, I hope everyone can take advantage of the opportunity to speak up regarding how our kids are "employed" each day. I believe that decisions are made by the people who show up. If we show up and the process fails us - we can move on from there. If we fail to show up then at least some of the failure of Unit 4 is directly on us.

There is poster and also 4 cards to a page to pass out to people. If you have facility to print these out on brightly colored paper and hand them to people you know, plaster them around town, e-mail them to your most distant acquaintance, please do. In the near future, Unit 4 will be providing a location where you can pick up the posters already printed. I will send that out when I have it.

The goal is to have everyone with something to say, including people without a connection to the schools, come to the forum. Many times, the discussion itself prompts your own opinion so you don't have to come with an axe to grind - just come and participate. The forum will be that everyone is divided into small groups of 15 or less so there is no public speaking involved. The plan is for there to be at least ten forums but this first one will help us run all the rest.
