Recently the Board of Education held a Special Meeting to receive an
update from Dr. Meyer, Deputy Superintendent of Academics, regarding the
Cluster governance model. Dr. Meyer provided a presentation (see below), the public was allowed to comment, and the Area
Superintendents provided a brief update on each of the Clusters they
supervise. Although the exchange between the public was limited to a
typical BoE style public comment and there was little notice prior to
the meeting, there was great optimism that this would change and the
Clusters would have a more rich dialog with the BoE and SDUSD
administration.
What became clear after the meeting was that BoE
Trustees would like input, but not by attending Cluster meetings. They
want representatives of the Clusters make appointments to see them in
their offices at the SDUSD administration building. There they can have
a dialog and discuss issues in more depth. The general public can
exercise the same process to meet with the BoE. I used this process to
meet with John deBeck when he was held the position.
