New and Hopeful
Hello- My name is Jessica. Our town in Maine just learned that our Superintendent and school board are recommending that our small school be closed and all our kids moved to the bigger town next door. Many are devastated but few are speaking. I am interested in using the closed school as a charter if legislation passes to allow charters this spring. I appreciate all the guidance on this board. I'll welcome any advice and want to say thanks for having a place where I can share my vision. Jess
clear question
OK- I've come up with a clear question. I want to create a place online where people can ask questions and read answers but I don't want it to be too complicated. I'm emailing the same info to new interested people several times each week. What should I do? Create a blog, a wiki or just an email group? Ideas?

We know that our educational
We know that our educational system needs to be re-built to meet the needs of our children if they are going to compete in the 21st century. We also know there is power in numbers. Together we can effect change whether it be by a charter model, blended model or virtual model. We have the technology and the means. I look forward to the sharing of ideas, the network that we can create to support and lead in the reconstruction of the education system.
