Due to the inclement weather over the past two weeks, my meeting with my supervisor had to be postponed several times. When we were finally able to meet, it was a brief meeting. I met with Janie Wright, assistant superintendent, at 4:30pm on Monday, February 14th, in her office.
I had emailed her my internship plan a couple of weeks before we met. She had some ideas of extra resources to help flush out some of my activities. Our main topic of discussion was the current financial crisis that is hitting school districts across the state. During our discussion, she felt that the main issue that would be affecting our district would be cuts that would have to be made because of the finance crunch. The exact dialogue that would need to be held to discuss this issue hasn’t been flushed out yet, but I believe I will interview different stakeholders in the education process in Lockhart to get their views on where the cuts need to come from to keep our district solvent. In addition, she suggested that wherever possible in my plan’s activities to discuss the financial impact or processes that are involved with each interviewee’s job responsibilities.
When looking at my cohort members blogs, activities selected deal with most of the areas that we feel comfortable with. Most comments were directed at having people “step out of their comfort zones” and look at activities that were more district-centered as opposed to campus-centered. I think that most of my cohort members plans were tweaked once they had a chance to discuss their plans with their supervisors.
