Listening to a school board meeting can be tasking, waiting to get to the good stuff.
Recently I have written about how the District seems to never know the numbers when asked publicly. One has to assume that they have the numbers, but it depends on who is asking.
I found it interesting that when the discussion of missing laptops came up, no numbers were given. We did hear the ever present positive spin that "it's getting better." Educators, teachers and business people should be curious how "better" is defined. Percentage better? Statistically significant better? Rumor mill finger-in-the-air better? How did someone know "it's getting better" if some numbers were not at least guessed at by someone.
When the discussion about coke machines coming up on the chopping block came up, it reminded me of the below post. It had to do with numbers, also.
