When in a mess, have more meetings. DPS announces special meeting

dps-special-meeting-notice 11-29-16Who works on Black Friday other than me?
Apparently Cherise Kidd, secretary to the Board of Education, who just sent out a special-meeting-11-29-16:

Special Meeting of the Board of Education of the Dayton City School district, Montgomery County, Ohio, to be held on Tuesday, November 29, 2016 at 5pm in the board room at the administration building 115 S. Ludlow St. Dayton OH.

Members of the public will be permitted to address the board at this meeting in accordance with Board Policy BDDH-E.

The notice is out. However, there is no agenda available on Board Docs: http://www.boarddocs.com/oh/dayton/Board.nsf/Public

And, one interesting thing- BDDH-E says ” 5. Limit remarks to five (5) minutes. No extensions are granted. When your time is up, you are to stop speaking.”

So, the 3 minute limit is not in effect at this meeting.

Meaning, the public has no idea of what they are going to do, or any way of preparing.

The community has scheduled a meeting  to prepare for the Dec. 6th Meeting- on Dec 1:

Thursday December 1, 2016 6-7:30 p.m.
Corinthian Baptist Church
700 S James H. McGee Blvd, Dayton

“Parents of DPS students are invited to join a conversation about proposed changes to the yearly budget and personnel in our classrooms.
Please join us to ask questions, provide feedback, and share our vision for the future of our children and community. School board members have been invited to attend to answer questions and provide greater understanding for their plan for Dayton Public Schools.”

This is just one more indication that the DPS board isn’t doing a very good job of communicating with the community.
