Kitchen Table Conversation

The Durham community is invited to offer input to the Board of Education regarding the qualities DPS should seek in a new superintendent at a special Kitchen Table Conversation on Tuesday, December 1, from 7:00 until 8:45 pm at the DPS Staff Development Center, 2107 Hillandale Road. 

The Board of Education has begun the process of searching for the district’s next Superintendent.  This is perhaps the most important task this board will undertake. It is critical that the voices of as many of our parents, staff and interested community members as possible are heard as we work together to identify the qualities the board should seek in DPS' next superintendent. 

It looked like members of the Superintendent’s Business Advisory Council were making a trip to the doctor when they met on November 12.  In actuality, the members were getting a taste of what it is like for students at the City of Medicine Academy, one of DPS’s nontraditional, small high schools. 

Many thanks to the following who attended the DPS Magnet Fair today, Sunday, November 15th - faculty: Ginny Griffin, Blake Whitley and Karen Ingram; students: Salima Taylor, Lauren Watkins and Jewel Gray; parents: Jimmie Powell, David McMahon and Michael Cross- we had a large turnout and a lot of interest in CMA for 2010-11!
