SAN DIEGO SCHOOLS¹ VISION 2020 FORUMS SET SATURDAY, MONDAY

SAN DIEGO ‹- San Diegans will have two more opportunities in the next few
days to weigh in on the future direction of the San Diego Unified School
District.

The "Vision 2020 Forums: What Kinds of Schools Do We Want" are scheduled
for 3-5 p.m. this Saturday, March 1, at Patrick Henry High School
(rescheduled from Feb. 18), and 7-9 p.m. Monday, March 3, at Mira Mesa
High. Henry High is located at 6702 Wandermere Dr. (92120); Mira Mesa High
is at 10510 Reagan Rd. (92126). Board of Education members will be hosting
the meetings in their sub-districts: Board President Kevin Beiser at the
Sub-District B meeting on Saturday; and on Monday, Trustee John Lee Evans
of Sub-District A.

The final meeting of this round of "Dream Big" forums is scheduled from
7-9 p.m, Monday, March 10, at Crawford High, 4191 Colts Way (92115). Board
of Education Vice President Marne Foster, the representative from
Sub-District E, is the host.

"We believe that when our priorities are inspired and informed by our
parents, students, employees and community members," said Kevin Beiser,
Board of Education President, "we will have important information for
long-range planning with students at the center."

Superintendent Cindy Marten said that the forums provide important
guidance from the public.

"We look forward to continued stakeholder engagement beyond these forums
as we work together to create quality schools in every neighborhood," said
Marten.

The "Vision 2020 Forums: What Kinds of Schools Do We Want" series offer
parents, staff, students, and community members an opportunity to give
input to the superintendent and the board members on priorities for our
students and schools. The forums will focus on three guiding questions:

1. What do we believe is working on our path to accomplishing Vision 2020?

2. What do we feel and/or think should be improved upon in order to
accomplish our Vision 2020?

3. How will we work together to accomplish our Vision 2020?
