Strategy.

"Schools seek public input. Volunteers wanted for strategic planning process." 

That was the headline of an article in today's Exeter Newsletter--about SAU 16.

It's no secret I've been critical of the process to find a solution to the school facilities problem here in Newmarket over the last several months. It has lacked input and transparency from the beginning. And it ended with a group of only FOUR at-large community members that many do not feel represent their voice.

The plan for SAU 16's Strategic Planning Steering Committee outlined in today's article is in stark contrast to the path Newmarket has begun:
Morgan said there were as many as 75 people who served on subcommittees when the current strategic plan was created. He hopes there will be just as much interest in the new one.
Each subcommittee is expected to have 12 to 15 members with various backgrounds who will represent different communities and different points of view. Morgan said students, parents, staff and other community members are invited to participate.

The Joint Advisory Committee has said they will look to other communities for information and input. This is a good start.
