The library will be open, so we will indeed meet!
As agreed toward the end of last week’s meeting, we’ll continue our discussion about the local economy. If you weren’t there, take a look at some of the links posted by Mike Wolf a few days ago and come prepared to discuss what’s going well, what’s not going so well and how we might improve things without impairing the atmosphere/culture/environment that has attracted lots of folks to the Blue Hill Peninsula.
We often revisit the link between education and economic prosperity in our Beyond Labels discussions. This coming week, we will be joined by Tim Seeley, the new Head of School at George Stevens Academy.
We’ll explore the competing demands on high school educators:
All this against a backdrop of rapid social and physical development of each student.
As usual, I expect we’ll have a wide-ranging and fun conversation.
The recent closure announcement has triggered a lot of local discussion about what happened, what can (or should) be done to mitigate the impact on the mill’s employees, families and local community, and lessons we can learn and should apply going forward.
We’ll discuss this topic at our next Beyond Labels meeting on October 20.
