Margaret Lane <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> Dear Ms. Marshall : <br /> The Chapel Hill-Carrboro City School District is about to undertake an <br /> ambitious study of the future of public education in our community at the <br /> elementary and secondary levels. We would very much like for a representative <br /> of the County Commission to be a part of a Superintendent's Blue Ribbon Task <br /> Force which will develop the strategic plan. <br /> To be more specific, this Task Force will engage in an eight-month study of <br /> each of the major functions of our school district. In each planning area, the <br /> present performance will be assessed, major trends which may impact this <br /> function will be analyzed, and broad goals for the next decade will be <br /> formulated. The end result will be a "Vision for the Nineties" of public <br /> education in the Chapel Hill -Carrboro City School District. This study, <br /> scheduled for completion in May, 1988, will serve as a guide for the School <br /> Board to use in setting more specific, shorter range goals during this same time <br /> span. An outline of the study is enclosed which identifies the twelve planning <br /> areas as well as major trends which will be investigated. <br /> I am requesting that you identify a representative who can assume a key <br /> leadership role on the Superintendent's Blue Ribbon Task Force. This Task Force <br /> will coordinate the study, provide insight into local issues, review <br /> subcommittee reports, and issue the final report. I would estimate that the <br /> Task Force will need to meet on approximately ten evenings between October and <br /> May. <br /> Once you identify a representative, the individual 's name, address, and <br /> phone number should be sent to Neil Pedersen, Assistant Superintendent for <br /> Support Services, who will be coordinating the Task Force. Neil 's office is at <br /> Lincoln Center, and he can be reached by telephone at 967-8211 Ext. 202. I <br /> would appreciate it if you would forward this information to Neil by the end of <br /> September. We would like to hold our first meeting before the end of October. <br /> Thank you in advance for your support and interest in assisting us in our <br /> development of a "Vision for the Nineties" for education in our community. If <br /> you have any questions or need further information, don 't hesitate to contact <br /> either Neil or myself. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> ,444-11■ VIVt144-4„_■ <br /> (Mrs. ) Gerry House, Superintendent <br />
