Superintendent's Weekly Reflections
Well, brrrrrrrr.... I am hoping we are done with the cold frigid winter weather. It seems as though the groundhog has had the last laugh this winter as we clearly have had a continuation of the winter weather. I have had an amazing week of school visits across the division, including attending our first strategic planning community events. What an energizing and inspiring week!
Our Strategic Planning community forums kicked off this week with five different events. At Lake Braddock Secondary School, we had more than 60 community members in attendance! I am so grateful to everyone who has joined us in this critical work to ensure that we are using our resources to build a future that benefits each and every one of our students.
All of the community forum materials have been uploaded onto the website for anyone interested in previewing the materials prior to attending each meeting. Check out the schedule of Community Forums and influence the direction of FCPS’ Strategic Plan, prior to its completion and formal adoption by the School Board. It’s not too late to sign up to attend an event. Next week, we’re looking forward to having our students participate in one of five focus groups to share their perspectives. Our Strategic Plan feedback form launched this week and we welcome all parents, students, staff, and community members to provide input This tool is being used to gather continuous feedback from stakeholders. The next scheduled events and other important information continues to be updated on the Strategic Planning website. We had great discussions this past Saturday with our families and community.
Monday, I visited the Marshall Governor's STEM Academy with School Board Member Rachna Sizemore Heizer. We visited students in the cyber patriots and cyber gryphon club. These students are gaining cybersecurity certifications and tangible work experience. One of the students has already been hired by Northrop Grumman! The students discussed their opinions on ChatGPT and Artificial Intelligence (AI). They told me how they use AI to support their academic work and how the division should develop future AI policies.
