[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's easy to say in theory less community engagement is better. But have you ever been really involved? Dug into the data and found huge mistakes that staff completely missed? Have you ever had to try to walk staff and school board members through this?

So in theory I could be in favor of less community engagement but not until they hire competent staff who can do their jobs and get it right without parents checking their work. [/quote]

This. I was somewhat engaged in one process and staff didn’t even add up the PU numbers right. [/quote]

Yes, this.  I was attentive to a recent process, and there were not only errors in the calculations, but also attempts by staff to use the numbers in multiple contradictory ways to prove whatever point served them in the moment.  It was concerning and unsettling (both the errors themselves and the staff's defensiveness and unwillingness to acknowledge them), and I was glad there were other parents from my neighborhood and school who were engaged enough to catch and raise the issues.[/quote]
