Mindy Greiling here, missing her award at Parents United today. #emid 2012-04-16
Garofalo MIA for his own committee hearing, missing Thomas testimony. #emid 2012-04-16
Thomas summarizes integration task force report http://t.co/gyDgzc97 #emid 2012-04-16
Swanson speaks only for himself and his no vote on the report. #emid 2012-04-16
Seems odd that a task force report supported 10-2 gets 50-50 hearing today. #emid 2012-04-16
Swanson dismisses a number of EMID testimonies at earlier task force hearings. Provides much more powerful testimony than Thomas. #emid 2012-04-16
Thomas, in rebuttal, finally gets to real testimony. #emid 2012-04-16
Swanson says that task force did not dig that deeply and members are not experts in integration, testimony was "almost symbolic" #emid 2012-04-16
Swanson repeatedly mentions non-public "Super Bowl Sunday" meeting held by the task fore. #emid #irratf 2012-04-16
Greiling seems to be off to the Parents United award after all, not here any longer. #emid #irratf 2012-04-16
Mariani expresses disappointment that legislature has not lived up to commitment of the task force. #emid #irratf 2012-04-16
Mariani laments that the committee did not begin shaping report into law back in February. #emid #irratf 2012-04-16
Really is a shame that Swanson so intent in tearing apart his own task force's report. #emid #irratf 2012-04-16
Quam, Erickson, and Daphne engage in the conversation. #emid #irratf 2012-04-16
Many members drifting out as hearing continues. #emid #irratf 2012-04-16
Thomas stresses the academic focus of camps. A shame since arts have such impact on academics. #emid #irratf 2012-04-16
Walking into any classroom at Crosswinds and you see the diversity of EMID. That's the beauty of our deep integration. #emid #irratf 2012-04-16
Swanson calls self-segregation "natural". What makes it natural? It is common, but that is the problem. #emid #irratf 2012-04-16
Garofalo says more important to get this right than to hurry up to do this. Conversation does not end today. #emid #irratf 2012-04-16
PTA vs PTO, clearly some history here… Sounds like PTA has a bit more infrastructure. #emid 2012-04-16
EMID board considering changes to JPA #emid 2012-04-18
Board considering three options w/r/t levy funding in the JPA… #emid 2012-04-18
(1) each member can send what it wants. #emid 2012-04-18
(2) Each member sends $646 of levy funding. #emid 2012-04-18
(3) Each member sends all levy, unless they vote to send less. #emid 2012-04-18
Kitty Gogins proposes (4) EMID board shall determine the levy dollar amount. #emid 2012-04-18
Lawyer talking to the board says that current rev 5 of JPA does not give EMID board power to capture levy. #emid 2012-04-18
Swanson suggests that EMID reconsider extra integration funds for schools instead of levy dollars. Back to the future! #emid 2012-04-18
Swanson and Hoeppner both concerned that their electorate see levies as tied to programs rather than to students. #emid 2012-04-18
EMID Board votes to accept Gogins (4) proposal but with 2/3 majority requirement. #emid 2012-04-18
