Re “Chardiet Talks About Planning Her Year in Office”
[img]1248|right|Laura Chardiet||no_popup[/img]For just a moment, the new president of the School Board almost sounded like the girl who came home from her first day at school and was asked by her mother what she had learned. Winded and puffing, she cited 20 separate activities, and said she could not wait to return tomorrow.
Laura Chardiet was not so different. Last time, she talked about how the new notions of Common Core and the Local Control Funding Formula may temporarily delay year-to-year changes that administrators and policy makers seek to institute.
But there is more and there is more on Ms. Chardiet’s agenda for her year term as the leader of the School Board. “We will be trying to pass a bond measure,” she said, without needing to mention that two of the three people who derailed it last summer have left the Board.
“We also want to continue to integrate the arts and to grow immersion.
“I am excited about having Sue Robins (former Middle School teacher) as a new member of the Board because she and I have worked together to get the business community more involved with our schools.”
As an office with the Chamber of Commerce, Ms. Robins, now a businesswoman herself, was successful in matching business reps with classes of students to fire their minds with never-before-considered career paths.
