First Vice-President Artie Leichner commented on the Leading Educational and Administrative Demonstration Schools (Leads) program. Leichner requested that Superintendent Crew explain his vision of teachers’ role in the school.  Dr. Crew said he envisioned the concept where principals would work with committees of teachers through collaborative efforts. 

Regarding Media Specialists Week, Leichner told the School Board he spoke as someone who is certified as a Media Specialist.  Leichner said the Media Menter is supposedly the hub of the school through which everything filters.  “Unfortunately, too many media centers are being used for classrooms.  We need more schools built and we need to support the Class Size Amendment,” said Leichner.
