We facilitated a Leadership Conference at Nottingham High School that used input from the stakeholders to focus on tackling some of the problems facing a large urban High School and improving programs that were already flourishing. The Conference resulted in, among other things: an adult / student project to improve bathrooms, a project t that offered free SAT preparation, a project that worked on addressing the problems facing slow learners with the regents exams, a series of coffee houses with entertainment offered at various community locations by the performing arts students, staf and community members, and a parent/ family involvement project that put on a highly successful multi-cultural dinner and advocated for a new form of “PTSO” that would combine the strengths of all the stake holder groups working together.
