A councilman who final gets it – sortakindamaybeish!!!
Well Rashid you had me at BLUE Ribbon Commission. BUT you LOST me at the list of participants…literally!
You cannot EXCLUDE Board members from the process and/or the CONVERSATION about our Schools! That's just preposterous! Come ON NOW!
I’m not going to beat you up terribly on this one, but I want to put you on notice – I plan to BE THERE -- you can "decide" if it’s as a parent, community person or Board of Education member.
I remember hosting a "Community" forum a few years back on behalf of PEP – Parents Empowering Parents – Citywide PTO and guess who was invited to the table/conversation. That’s right – YOU and Mapp! Say what -- Council People,Parents, Educators, Assemblyman, Clergy all at the SAME table???!!!
I have long respected your willingness to get involved with school issues, have since had some disheartening concerns about certain Councilors, but I'm still hopeful that the City Council as a BODY will get it – that as I stated before – you CANNOT create an improved and sustainable infrastructure here in Plainfield without ensuring you have the intellectual capital and capacity by way of a current and future consumer and merchant bases A.K.A. this community’s children.
It’s just NOT DoABLE!
Anywho -- Looking forward to future opportunities to expand our definition of "Unity in the Community!"
