SDUSD Workshop (BoE Meeting) RE: Cluster Model

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.
