This is kind of cool.
The school has been working hard to raise money to expand and open a new building. We're almost there, but before we expand anymore, administration want to have some serious conversations about our philosophy, how we're going to handle the increase in students/faculty, stuff like that. We've also been talking to staff, parents, students, and people in the community about our reputation and what comes to mind when people hear about us. So far it's all pretty positive, but we also know what we have to work on and where there are some misunderstandings.
So we have this Saturday retreat that's open to administration and just some of faculty. Most of the faculty in attendance have been there a while or have more degrees. I got invited. It was a surprise. I'm pretty excited to talk about the future of the school. Getting a new position has really freshened things up for me, and I feel enthusiastic again.
On the other hand, it's my whole Saturday, and I was going to have lunch with my brother. He's moving to Brooklyn in 3 months.
We rescheduled this morning, but man, I hope that this 9-5 planning retreat is productive. The initial meeting I attended was very much so. We talked about teacher morale, things we struggle with, and why we think our school is good for the community. I have no idea what we're going to do for 8 hours on a Saturday.
