The opt-out has passed with a resounding “Yes” and in the most positive way possible. We are hopeful that passing the opt-out will give this district some much needed momentum. This was a good night for RCAS. Everyone was on the same page, supporting our teachers and schools while taking a major step in the right direction. A vision of collaboration and trust was shared, and as a group, we are going to hold the Superintendent accountable to every word in his impassioned speech. We are going to hold the board in the same manner. We cannot allow anyone to expect any less. All members of the board championed teachers, and spoke of how this is not an easy process but good can come out of it. We heard them validate every single problem on this blog and their commitment to change. However, it is our job to stay diligent, to hold everyone accountable to their words. This evening was inspiring and in order to build the trust with the community we need to see actions that reflect those inspirational words. Remember, trust is something that is earned. We thank them for passing the opt-out, for the commitment to better schools, and we will hold them to it. With that, let’s celebrate this victory, share the positive message, and reinforce how effective coming together is for our district. Tonight we celebrate!
