Address to School Board 8/18/08

The following remarks were made at Monday night’s School Board meeting:

Good evening, my name is Kathy Wynn and I am speaking as co-President of the Hinsdale High School Teachers’ Association. As we embark on a new school year, I would like to say that all 366 members of the HHSTA are looking forward to working collaboratively with each other and with our newly expanded Administrative team. We know that there are some issues that we would like to see resolved or implemented in a timely manner, and to do so will take cooperation between the Association and Administration.

We also recognize that last spring’s ECRA report painted a bleak picture when it comes to staff morale, and we would like to take an active role in any efforts that are being made to address that issue.

Open and frequent communication between the Association and the Administration is essential to realizing these goals. Our vision for this District, and more importantly, for its students, does not differ from yours. As education professionals, we would like to continue the “tradition of excellence”, the phrase that is so prominently featured on the redesigned District web site. There is so much potential for our schools, our students, and our communities. On behalf of the HHSTA, I am here to say, together we can make it happen. Thank you.
