Planning & Transportation
You may have seen my earlier post that described what
theme groups are actually are and what they'll be doing. Tonight, theory
will become reality with the first of the four theme group working sessions at
Ephesus Elementary School. Here's what on the agenda:
- Review the process
- Clarify the roles and responsibilities
of all members and leaders of the group
- Identify the components for the
theme based on the community data collected at previous meetings
- Identify
areas in common with other
themes
- Identify resources for the group,
both in terms of staff and data
- Have discussion of decisions in
the theme group
So at this point there’s been much discussion as to what a theme
is, who will make up a theme working group, what these working group will do
and how they will do it. The town has answered these questions in series of
blog on the 2020 Buzz site, but
there’s a good deal of information to wade through, so I’ve tried to succinctly
summarize them below in a Q&A format:
What is a theme? The town calls the themes the building blocks of the plan.
They’re not necessarily value-laden; instead they’re areas that the plan will
focus on. Currently there are six themes. You can find a list of the current
themes here.
