[Vision2020] (no subject)

[Jerry Weitz]

Keely, the only time the MSD listens to suggestions for educational 
improvement, agrees and does not follow through, is during the process of 
asking for more money.  The MSD lacks in skills training and by Pullman's 
standards is about twenty years behind.  Pullman has a full 180 days of 
instruction last time I compared, beats MSD scholastically, has higher post 
secondary enrollment, higher graduation rates, uses WSU extensively, and 
costs less to run (ADA).  In order to compete globally, MSD ought to 
consider 200 days of instruction, have a credible skills program, and use 
the resources of UI.  Only then should the money be forth 
coming....otherwise it will be business as usual.   Think globally and act 
locally.  Let's make MSD the lighthouse district of Idaho by insisiting on 
global standards.  Jerry
