Another step on the road…did a presentation to a couple of board members last night on how things are going with the Website. (Found out one of them is the mother of a student in my class. Surprise!) I think it’s safe to say that everyone understands the process, everyone likes the concept and the design, and everyone is worried about how to review what gets posted. It is THE huge discussion I’m having right now, and it is THE last obstacle (I think) to full implementation of the site. (I’ve been struggling with this for about a month now.) I’m meeting with my Redesign Team next week to hopefully roll up our sleeves and talk through it. Since all we’re going to allow at this point is informational posting, 95% of what we’re talking about here is correctness and not appropriateness. So, I think I can make the case that if we define the type of content that we can post, clearly define the standards for that content, and clearly spell out the review process for each site, we should be good to move forward.
