As those of you who regularly read this blog know, I have been posting since this blog's inception on the importance of higher education for success in the global economy. From my postings on Thomas Friedman, Good to Great, and College Focus, I have shown the data that makes support for higher education an imperative. I have pushed for Spring Branch to make this a central focus for many many months.
That is why I am so proud that our Board took the bold step tonight of adopting the following five year goal:
SBISD will be the premier college-focused district in the State of Texas and will prepare all students for post-secondary success
A bold step toward the future!
** I invite you to view the Power Point presentation I prepared for the Board on this issue.
Mike, I thoroughly appreciate your Blog! It is very informative and just gives facts without trying to influence thinking. It is a giant step forward for all students to have the opportunity to envision and excell in a college focused District. Poor does not mean dumb and all students should have the opportunity to be eager to achieve and look forward with real hope to college.
