President's Point of View: Public Education in Grand Rapids
February 10, 2008
In January 2006 I wrote about our support to the Grand Rapids Public Schools (GRPS) and the link is here. I appeared before the GRPS Board of Education back in January 2007 and essentially laid out what I posted. The reaction from the Board was well … plain boredom!
A great deal has occurred since last year and Dr. Taylor has attracted community support which he outlined in his speech yesterday. In my future posts I will outline what this foundation has tried to do with GRPS … quite a handsome sum has been spent on the district!
Great idea to focus on the GRPS. I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts and insights, Diana!
