[CSPS] Growth 2 Committee

[Susan Scott]

At the Workshop, Trustees were suggesting names and volunteering to call people to ascertain their willingness to serve on the Growth 2 Committee.  The list of names was not provided to the audience, but I did catch two CSPS names:  Arvind Mahajan and Linda Parrish.  There may have been others, and Mrs. Slack or another Trustee may be willing to share the list...does anyone know a Trustee well enough to ask about this?

Thanks to Susan for that excellent report!

A couple of points:

1. Living Wage - The speaker was Bobby Slovak.  This is a great step toward 
gaining visibility in the community (raising consciousness) on this issue.

2.  Growth 2 Committee:  The CSPS board needs to move quickly to contact 
Mike Ball and board members to insure that a number of CSPS members are 
appointed to this committee.  And I encourage you to serve if asked (or even 
volunteer by contacting a board member you know!).  Not only will it be 
extraordinarily informative, but the issues addressed will be extremely 
important to where, how and why we grow as a community.

The ISD has tended to just "follow the growth" but it's time to take another 
approach, particularly if we're concerned about bussing minority and 
economically disadvantaged kdis all over creation in order to prevent 
re-segregation.
