Accountability

Having attended the MA Board of Education's Elementary and Secondary's Meeting this month, one topic being one dear and often vocal to this town...accountability.

I feel that not only must the School Committee be accountable and I know that the grippers must grip. But, here is the call to ACTION we as a community must answer as well:

Each and every adult and student in each and every building are accountable (as is the School Committee) for the outcomes of projects in those building.

If we are to succeed in turning our surviving school system into truly educational system that will prepare our children in addition to the foundational "three Rs" skills with the 21st century skills that they will need to thrive and excel in the highly competitive and technical world that is waiting for them.
