Ramos said the district is trying the program under a
free 90-day trial, but did not say what it would cost if it became
permanent.
"The trial gives the community and the board a chance to see whether it makes sense," he said.
During Thursday's meeting, Ramos offered few specifics on
what he plans to do about issues such as leveling, enrollment,
curriculum, or redistricting, although he mentioned them.
Ramos used broader terms like "think win-win" and "seek first to understand and then be understood."
On the estimated enrollment growth and potential
redistricting he said, "that's a topic, we can't run from it. I gotta
tell you, more and more people are coming."
He also praised the recent $8,100 one-day board retreat, although he did not cite the cost, calling the event "absolutely pivotal."
Ramos said he is setting aside all of his time before
10:30 a.m. to be in schools each day and has made it a point of
priority. He also admitted he has his own faults that need to be
addressed.
"Sometimes I have a tendency to run too fast," he said.
"I have to be more in the details here." As for his interaction with the
public, he admits, "I'm not so naive as to think these conversations
are going to go easily."
