You Can Help Choose the Next Baltimore City Public Schools CEO

The BCPSS School Board is in search of Baltimore’s next CEO. “Input sessions” tonight and tomorrow night will give people like you a chance to let the Board know what kind of person you’d like to see in that role. A former teacher? A business-minded bureaucrat? A union-lover? A radical reformer? A believer in community schools? A defender of the status quo? Maybe a leader proven to listen to reason?

The future of BCPSS is (sort of) in your hands. Even if you feel you have as much say over this as you do over ending the federal government shut-down, if you read this blog, I urge you to participate in this process.

Here’s how:

1) Attend an input session. Dates, times, and places are:

Wednesday, October 2, 2013
6-7:30 p.m.
DIgital Harbor High School, 1100 Covington Street

Thursday, October 3, 2013
8:30-10 a.m.
City Schools’ district office, 200 E. North Ave

6-7:30 p.m.
Frederick Douglass High School, 2301 Gwynns Falls Parkway
OR
The Enoch Pratt’s Southeast Anchor Library, 3601 Eastern Ave

2) Complete this survey. They are seeking input from as many constituents as possible.
