Who's on DART? - Budget Blog

Budget Blog

4/28/2009

A lot of work has been going on at the district to make sense of the state budget as well as all the community input that came in from the sessions of the last two weeks. Believe me, the community input is much easier to figure out than the state budget. Because I've been involved in the input analysis, I haven't had time to update this blog. I'll be catching up in the next couple of days.

Friday was the day for the Decision Advisory Representative Team to spend the day grappling with putting together a set of recommendations for Dr. Kimball. A parent asked me last week who is on DART and how they are chosen. DART is made up of several groups. The largest are principals, who are elected by their fellow principals to represent the different levels (elementary, junior high and high school) and the four different learning communities (Eastlake, Juanita, Lake Washington and Redmond). There are also members who represent the Central Leadership Team, the administrators who head the different departments in the district. And there are representatives of the Professional Technical staff - managers in the classified staff ranks, coveirng such areas as transportation, facilities and business services. There are 17 voting members of DART.

These staff members are elected by their peers but are also expected to represent the interests of the staff members who work for them. Principals bring to the discussion the interest of the teachers, instructional assistants and office managers in their schools, for example. This group brings a wide range of experiences and knowledge of the district to their work.
