Conference a First Step in Shaping School District’s Future
Teachers, students, parents, administrators and other community members met Sunday to sketch a vision that Los Alamitos Unified School District Supt. Carol Hart said will shape district planning and decisions in the new millennium.
The Create the Future conference brought together about 140 people from all walks of life to discuss their goals for the 20-year-old school district.
For four hours, questions such as “Why should parents send their children to this district?” “How do we want to be seen by the community?” and “What would we like to hear others say about our district?” were tossed back and forth.
Not everyone agreed on the answers, school trustee Del Clark said. Among those participating were some who have criticized the district over such matters as location of the Orange County High School of the Performing Arts, she said.
The second and final meeting of the conference will be held Nov. 21.
