2. BOARD OF EDUCATION RETREAT 6:00PM
Rationale:
The purpose of the this board retreat is for discussion and direction setting for Cozad Community Schools. It is imperative that we have beliefs that the board and the administration agree with and strive to obtain. We need to continually reflect on the operation of our school district and question the relevance of practices and what benefits they may have for our students. Some common practices may change to more relevant practices/activities that prepare our students for their future education and/or careers. Since we are a community school, we will continue our focus on our relationship and partnership with the great town of Cozad. Many new ideas and practices will come out of this partnership that will benefit the students, community and school district. We will try to always put our best foot forward to promote our school district and community to the State of Nebraska and beyond. |
