Trinity to host reception for new superintendent, meeting with consultant

Trinity School Board will have a reception Thursday for its newly hired superintendent and then have a presentation by a consultant.
The reception for Paul Kasunich, whose first day as superintendent is scheduled for early April, will begin at 6:30 p.m. in the high school cafeteria. The reception is expected to last 45 minutes.
Then, James Manley, a consultant hired by the board to determine what Trinity does well and how the district can improve, will give his report. He already explained his report to the board’s education committee.
Manley’s report describes the ideal school district in five areas: leadership and governance; curriculum, instruction and achievement; learning climates and culture; accountability for teachers and students; and systems thinking, which includes special education.
He details what Trinity does well and how the district can improve in all of those areas. Manley said copies of the report will be available publicly. However, a final copy was not ready Tuesday.
After Manley gives his report, Kasunich will discuss what he thinks of the findings.
The meeting will be open to the public. However, Manley said there will not be a question-and-answer session with the public.
