Each year in Worthington Schools we issue a quality profile that is designed to provide a high level view of what’s happening in our school district. At the end of last week many of you received the mailer in your mailbox. If you haven’t yet received the profile you should receive it early this week. (If you can’t wait, it’s available online here.)
On Saturday I was informed that people weren’t clear what we meant when we said there were 1,360 SAFF members in the school district. We’ve obviously not communicated very well that in Worthington we’ve been referring to valued team members as Super Amazing Future Facilitators. We believe those who choose to serve in Worthington really are super amazing and working to help our students meet our mission to change the world. Thus, SAFF! 🙂
Obviously, I do believe our team members are super amazing difference makers. I’m grateful for each of them. In this case SAFF should have read STAFF. Somehow when the draft came back from the printer we missed it. We should have caught the mistake but we didn’t. There’s no excuse. As a public school district we often remind our students of the importance of checking their work. We care deeply about Worthington Schools and we know our community cares deeply too. It’s fair to expect that we don’t make these types of mistakes.
So, we’re sorry. Please read the profile. Hopefully, you’ll be proud of this public school district. And…hopefully our mess up reminds you that we have 1,360 SUPER AMAZING FUTURE FACILITATORS who care deeply about our kids and community.
