I know some of my peeps were a little disappointed JA-ROID didn't use the term COMMUNITY SCHOOL at the LCA debate like some of the other candidates did. I believe NATASHA M & M ended every third paragraph with the term. Though he doesn't share the terminology, JARED actually has a better concept of the spirit of the term than any of the other candidates.
He acknowledged the importance of the non-academic aspect of a complete education with specific details that the rest of the other candidates lacked. He may speak SPANISH but he has a little trouble with community communication.
Here's a little translation folks when he was stressing the need for concern about the student's social and emotional needs well that's pyscho/lawyer talk for community concepts. Then the specific examples of how his athletic coaches had such an impact on his own development just screams community in a complete way.
A little icing on the cake was when he mentioned the intricacies of educational law particularly as it pertains to SPECIAL EDUCATION. LPS has a record of trouble in that area hence the mandate from the DESE that we have a COMPLIANCE OFFICER who we pay in the neighborhood of $100,000 a year. Nice neighborhood.
