They already had all this stuff.. before the niggers moved in.
FLINT - To make Flint's schools great, they need arts, music and gym classes in every building.
They need to weed out the bad principals and teachers and replace them with innovative, top-quality people willing to be held accountable.
They need curriculum, programs and grade configurations that are based on research and data.
And, yes, schools might need to be closed, but if it's done it should be part of a larger strategic plan that lays the groundwork for rebuilding the district.
These are some of the nine visions of the Great Schools Initiative, a grassroots group of Flint residents formed to help the Flint Board of Education improve the district.
In front of a crowd of about 60 people, the group presented its vision for the future to the School Board during a special meeting Friday evening
.
The ideas were compiled from input gathered
from about 300 people at 16 meetings in all parts of the district.
"What a document like this does is generate discussion," said Richard Ramsdell, a member of the Great Schools group.
"This is the big picture. This has people talking about things besides low test scores and closing buildings."
School Board members were so impressed with the plan that they agreed to formally accept it during their April 20 meeting to ensure that it would not be forgotten. It also will be used to help the board shape a strategic plan for the district.
"This plan is not going to collect dust on a shelf, I can assure you of that," said board President Marvin "Skip" Harbin.
"This is truly a monumental moment in the history of Flint Community Schools," said Interim Superintendent Ira Rutherford.
Board members had some questions about the plan, particularly how the financially strapped dist
rict could pay for some of the visions, such as having art, music and gym classes in every building. The district cut those p
rograms years ago; they now exist in only a few schools or as after-school activities.
Ramsdell said some parts of the plan require money, but other ideas would cost little or nothing, such as holding principals accountable and creating "learning contracts" between teachers, students and parents.
Some attending Friday's meeting said that if the board does the things in the plan then it's investing in the district's future. That investment should lead to enrollment and revenue growth, instead of the steady decline of 600 to 1,000 students a year that the district has been experiencing.
