We’re now into our seventh week of publishing the Commissioner’s Update. Thank you for the comments of support and the suggestions you’ve made. This week’s issue contains an important improvement that we made in response to your feedback:

We’ve combined all reporting requirements, administrative letters, items you should note and other administrative items into the newly renamed “Action Items” section of the Update. If it’s a must-know item for superintendents, it will be in this section.

Also at your suggestion, we’ve made an addition to the online Newsroom:

Now you can forward every item published — be it an administrative letter, press release or blog entry — by email to the appropriate person who needs to see it. Just click on the “Email” link at the bottom of any item and enter the appropriate address.

In addition, don’t forget that everyone can subscribe to the Commissioner’s Update. We encourage you to invite your administrators, teachers, school board members, parents – anyone with an interest in Maine education – to subscribe by clicking here.

Keep sending us your feedback! And when you’re at the Superintendents’ Conference, look for David Connerty-Marin and Matt Stone. They’ll be showing off the Newsroom and soliciting your thoughts, concerns and suggestions.
