Question of the Week: How is the District's Communication?

Back in August, the school board hosted Paul Breda, a member of the New Jersey School Board Association. With Breda, the school board and top administrators did a self-evaluation to determine its strengths, weaknesses and where it should improve. Among the things it said it would like to improve the most in was communicating with the general public.

From the minutes of August 30, 2010:

"Improvements have been made in communications this year, which helped to gain approval for the bond referendum. This speaks well to communications with the community. Three major challenges facing the district are as follows: budget and funding, referendum work and contract negotiations."

• Has the district appropriately addressed resident concerns on these issues?
• Do you feel the school is upfront and transparent about its budget, the referendum and other actions?
• Has communication improved in 2010-2011 over the previous year? Has it stayed largely the same? Gotten worse?

Tell us your thoughts, oh voting public!
