Seeing Them For Ourselves
Dr. Avard has joined a few of his fellow board members
in personally touring the schools of our district. To
date, he has visited all 23 kindergarten, elementary, middle and high
school, as well as the Manchester School of Technology and the new
location of MCTV. These tours have been educational and
enlightening for all those involved. There is no better way to
learn about the needs and accomplishments of our schools and students
than to visit with the teachers, aids, administration and students in
the classroom setting. Dr. Avard looks forward to
repeating these tours and developing further initiatives to stay in
contact with the residents, students and leaders of Manchester.
