I'm enjoying reading about the many inclusive decision-making experiences
with WAPS site teams, and I'm encouraged to hear from Eric Bartleson that
improving site team policy is on the agenda for the District Policy (Meet &
Confer) Committee. Since that committee met last week, maybe Eric could
update the list on how that discussion is developing.
During my tenure on a site team, I had the same question as Craig Brooks
about broadening the involvement from community members. Of course, if that
question is answered affirmatively, it leads to a bunch of new questions:
How would community members be chosen? If they would be elected, who gets
to vote? If they're invited, who chooses who gets invited? Which groups of
"stakeholders" (sorry for the annoying buzzword but it seems to fit) should
be represented on the site team? I'd think it would be valuable to get a
discussion going between the various district site team participants on how
to become more inclusive in terms of membership, then add that to policy.
Another of my questions continues to be this: what individual or group is
responsible for assuring that all site teams are being allowed to function
effectively? And when conflict occurs (I assume it's inevitable) who can
team members go to for help with conflict resolution?
