Had a brief relatively good but not all good visit at FORD SCHOOL this morning. I tagged along with an old friend who had been volunteering at that school for some 25 years. Until this year that is. You know with the changes going on with the principles of new princiPALS and all, it has not been the MOST welcoming of environments.
Upon our arrival to wish a belated birthday wish to an old friend (innocent enough) we were immediately sent to the princiPAL's office for a real sit down meet & greet. So nice of her to take time out of her busy schedule to meet with us common folk.
Quickly my friend steer our little parley with the new chief into a discussion about the requirements of and the need for volunteers. To be honest, the conversation seemed a little stiff but professional. While there really no opportunities for that kind of thing now (end of year and all), next year was not ruled out. Understandably coming in the middle of the year and all, this princiPAL needs to get her bearings and ASSESS the situation. THAT CERTAIN TIME LAG IS THE NECESSARY COST OF BRINGING SOMEONE IN FROM THE OUTSIDE.You got to take the good with the bad.
Even though the POTENTIAL need for volunteers for next fall was not ruled out and my friend was told it would be okay if he wanted to check back in the fall, NO GUARANTEES of opportunities were promised.
WAIT UNTIL THESE PEOPLE SEE THE HAVOC THIS UPCOMING BUDGET WILL CAUSE, LOL.
