The new web site is already letting a little sunshine into the governance of the School System. I give them an A+ for being OPEN by placing the draft Student Code of Conduct Handbook online and available to everyone. Unfortunately, the link is obscure – in the News section, in a small article titled "Student Code of Conduct Handbook being revised." The link is the last word in the final sentence. I believe that, for TRANSPARENCY, the link should be much more prominent so it receives a C-. Therefore, the average grade for this small ray of sunshine is a B.
EssexSunshine.Org recognizes that the web site is still under development and appreciates the effort of the School Board to become more open. We believe that there is potential for the web site to receive an overall A in the future.
The July School Board Meeting, in conjunction with their retreat, is in Kingsmill Resort near Williamsburg on Thursday July 19th beginning at 9 am. If any parents or other members of the public want to comment either contact your District SB Member and the at large SB Member before the 19th or plan on driving to Kingsmill for the Public Comment Period. The meeting is open to the public and was announced to the Public at the last meeting, in the Rappahannock Times, and by EOS. Unanswered is whether the location of the meeting is easily accessible and is it good public policy?
