We did Good Work

Last night we passed a budget for the 2016-2017 school year. This is a big deal...a consensual decision, made by the whole PLS adult community. Money is hard to talk about and we did it well. As part of the Budget Committee I know how much time, care and research went into developing various options. I watched as PLAC listened, questioned and ultimately chose the recommendation that we presented to the larger body of Town Meeting. As facilatator my role was to observe and conduct...I enjoyed watching the flow of energy throughout the room....I felt proud as the community grappled with tough issues, coming to consensus and moving forward. We did good work last night.
