There is a petitioned warrant article
(Warrant Article #7) on the upcoming Oyster River Community School
District Warrant that advocates for the formation of a study committee
to explore the potential of becoming a sustainable school district. If
this passes, staff/administrators, students, school members, and
community members will be invited to be a part of the committee and
the study. If you are interested in more information about this
initiative, please see the link below.

ReplyDeleteAs (for the present) a sitting board member, I cannot take a position on a warrant article that the board has not endorsed.
ReplyDeleteHowever, as a candidate I completely support the concept of sustainability. I most certainly support sustainable energy, protection of the environment, and the sustainability of nutritionally sound food sources. Socially, we need to turn away from a consumer based economy to a producer based economy; we need to conserve, re-use and recycle as much as possible. I fully support a sustainable budget with stringent fiscal responsibility and transparency.
I would like very much to see a continued community dialogue to help me understand exactly what it is you mean when you refer to, "...integration of sustainable ecological, economic, and cultural equity policies and practices into school operations and the curricula"
