Good — it wasn’t just me.
Under the headline Mo Gets Prickly with the Board, the Rhino’s Paul Clark writes about Tuesday’s Guilford County Board of Education discussion of Superintendent Mo Green’s strategic plan:
The school board, which at its Jan. 29 meeting accepted Green’s plan almost without comment, was livelier the second time around, with some school board members questioning parts of the plan and others pushing for more input, perhaps even for control, as Green cycles the plan into effect by launching a series of programs over the next three years.
Not that Green is looking to the school board for approval, as he made clear on Tuesday. Green reminded the board members that they had said, when he was hired, they wanted the strategic plan to be the superintendent’s. And the superintendent’s, by golly, it was going to be. “That’s the way we have proceeded,” he said. “At no time do I think the board will be approving the plan in toto,” he said.
All I have to add is if Tuesday’s discussion was lively, then don’t even bother with the board’s more subdued discussions.
