I attended one of the public school Community Engagement meetings tonight. Usually I am hesitant to go to meetings that I think will be confrontational or emotionally draining. Tonight was neither of those things. It was a chance to talk with other people, to share ideas and come out with budget priorities. I sat with two people I knew and three people I didn't know. I found that it was very interesting to hear different perspectives and satisfying to find out that we could discuss hot topics  in a positive and productive way. Hmmm....isn't that what we expect our students to do?
