Secondary School Ad Hoc Committee (including application)

Secondary School Configuration summary

A couple of colleagues from School Perceptions join me to talk about what we saw with the 89 school referendum questions on the ballot April 1st!

Here's the blog post breaking down referendum results, including graphs and everything.

Here's the info on Tosa's Secondary Ad Hoc Committee.

And here's a link to the School Perceptions podcast, for any school leaders out there!

In this episode:

• Meet Vlad Kogan
• Learn about quality measures that isolate school effects from out-of-school effects.
• Understand some of the factors that impede school board accountability.
• Hear a bit about Vlad's forthcoming book

Sara Lerand comes on the show to talk about the local referendum question on our ballots in April, which would change the way local school board elections run -- undoing a decision that Tosa originally made in 1994.
