Superintendent Dr. Chip Kimball l and School Board V.P. Mr. Ravi Shahani of Lake Washington School District LWSD presented VISION 2020 to city council last night asking for collaboration. I've known Ravi from working together on the Education Hill Citizen Advisory Committee.
Dr. Kimball (photo) started his presentation with the alarming **two-minute video clip titled "Do You Know?" . Please click this video link for exciting and sometimes scary reasons why LWSD must prepare our kids for the future.
The LWSD's Vision Statement is "Every Student Future Ready". You'll know why after watching the clip.
- Not every student should go to college, but absolutely every student should be prepared for college. Dr. Kimball said, without some post secondary education, poverty or inability to live in our community is probable.
- Preparation for the global workplace by learning skills in communication, technology, problem solving is envisioned.
- Preparation for personal success is envisioned with passion, perseverance, work habits, community contribution, and environmental awareness.
