GCS Supt. Maurice "Mo" Green unveiled his multi-year strategic plan Tuesday night. And I'll have to hand it to him...the plan is bold and mighty.
Carved mainly out of what is currently in place in Charlotte, the plan calls for the district to be divided into regions, with regional superintendents. A district-wide audit of resources and the addition of security guards are also part of the plan.
These were items I campaigned on recently. I support non-sworn security guards in our schools. I support a district-wide audit of resources (and if it includes supplies, I support the free-flow return of supplies in our schools). And while the regional concept presents another layer of bureaucracy, if it makes our schools better, than I'm willing to see what happens.
But there are questions...where will the money come from for some of these initiatives? Teacher layoffs are being openly discussed. Budgets are being sliced. And is the full Board...on board?
The document has been unveiled...it will be followed, closely.
