About the debate!
Lori D'Amico I thought the questions asked could have been much better and more relevant. The school committee is responsible for establishing educational goals and policies for the schools in the district. These goals and policies must be consistent with the requirements of state and federal law and statewide goals and standards established by the DOE. One of the biggest problems facing LPS is having a school committee that is not fully aware of this, or what those goals, policies, and laws actually are. As Patti admitted, many of them use and rely on Dr. Latham as their only source of information, which is absolutely absurd. They should be doing their own research on the issues before them and if they want accurate, reliable information, perhaps the DESE would be a better source. The current school committee gives the superintendent too much autonomy and this has proved to be dangerous.
