I participated in yesterday's online strategic planning SWOT analysis yesterday here in Franklin City. The process was well done! 

However, as I have been involved in different ways with public education since 1970, I will reserve judgment about the worthiness of the entire process until I see what is actually, ultimately applied in our community by our school system administration and school board. We have a long, long way to go, and talk is cheap.

I welcome contact from any staff members of VSBA in moving forward with transformational developments in my community involving the school system, and I look forward to the next step, being a prioritization of our SWOT results by survey.

Sincerely,
