After citing several positives occurring oc-curring within district schools, Discovery Elementary principal Wayne Gurney opened the floor to comments from both board members mem-bers and the principals. Both groups agreed they must strive to "sharpen their product," that is, to provide an education which will adequately prepare graduates grad-uates for the rapidly changing needs of the current work place. Such an effort must be evaluated and constantly con-stantly updated. Other areas in which administrators administra-tors want to see improvement include: in-clude: Pursuing more information about graduates to assess the adequacy ade-quacy of district programs, what Marlin Johnson called "getting better bet-ter information about our product." Better tracking of student progress through the district educational educa-tional system. Increasing the level of funding for professional development Gaining and enhancing trust throughout the district, moving away from an adversarial approach to relationships between administrators administra-tors and board members. , The two groups scheduled a work meeting for early 1994.
