There's a Worcester strategic plan meeting next week

Parents received a push on a strategic plan meeting next week on Wednesday. It's January 24, 2018, at 6:00 pm at Claremont Academy. No word on childcare, transportation, or translation. The agenda is:

AGENDA: - Opening Remarks: The Process to Date
- Focus Groups
- Reports from Focus Groups
- Adjourn

Assuming this means the group breaks up into focus groups, this appears to mean at least there is a set time for public input this time. The issue (and if you've been in these rooms, you've seen this one coming) is it's the "break people up into groups and make them set priorities" meaning that not all things make the final list. Not every voice is actually heard.
It also means the troublemakers can't find each other and organize.

I can't go as next week (as you may be picking up from other posts) is jam-packed with state things: the Board of Ed, the Governor's budget, the Rennie Center's annual report, and Commissioner interviews.
