When I hear that there is a desire for department chairs to be on site team I wonder if they really are wanting to be on A-team? Most of what is discussed at Site team (this year and in the past) has not been about the big decisions in the building.

Could we form a Teacher Advisory Committee?  That committee could bring "issues" forward to Site Team and A Team?

I don't think pillars were ever meant to replace departments or department meetings. The idea was to build leadership that cut across those boundaries and acknowledged that one spokesperson for each department (or 3 in the case of science) wasn't really getting at leadership.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Communication is done- some good things accomplished but those things (announcements, t.v. monitors) that need to keep going can have a place somewhere else.
I don't think the Building pillar is necessary- the things accomplished are really more jobs of employees that they are supposed to be doing
I think we should have more subpillars and have them at leadership meetings- all departments could have someone as a subpillar head?

The pillar organization has the potential to be outstanding however some pillars were more successful than others. It is critical to get the right people on the right pillar and for those people to be willing and able to fulfill their duties - the duties are non-negotiable. This year I feel that we have not been as successful as we could have been because all hearts were not coordinated in the same direction. I've seen passive aggressive interaction poison some of the success of some of the pillars. We need to deal with this by making sure everyone is working on something they care about and that they understand that their involvement is not optional.

Pillars could perhaps be an effective replacement of the former committee structure. A department structure is still necessary, separate from pillars.

Send out lists of names of people in charge (besides leaders). Seemed sometimes no one knew who was in charge of what project.

I appreciate that pillars have sort of changed the focus of department meetings but it seems like some link to departments is needed

Pillars with clear objectives and tasks seemed to do great things this year, but those with less clear objectives appeared to lack focus and purpose. Who decides the objectives? Site team? The pillar? The staff? The students?

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think my students' interests were really represented .We are a smaller group within the school.

Simplify the number of pillars and duties? Perhaps two or three large pillars w branches or mini pillars underneath

I would like to see a parent pillar which incles parent communication, open houses and conferences etc and a community pillar which includes connecting students to resources, scholarships, guest speakers and other programs and opportunities. I would not have either a building or communication pillar. Communication should be part of all pillats - most building issues are part of job descriptions already in place.

# data[].attributes.headline
I think that some pillars struggled to find focus and purpose. Also, I'm concerned that not all departments have a voice on the Site Team. Finally, I think departments still need department meetings and department chairs just for cohesion and efficiency.

Last year's structure with department chairs and open invitations to lunch discussions about proposed changes, concerns,  programs, etc kept me way more in the loop and involved than the pillar system

some negative, unintended effects of the pillar system:
1. Buck passing--no one takes ownership for an issue
2. Harder communication-no way to know what other pillars are discussing/doing
3. Comparing who is perceived to be "working harder" than others

We've been very admin heavy this year. Not always a bad thing, but it needs to be acknowledged.

Some pillars had no real focus. Then some people were expected to do a lot more work than everyone else. Also some pillars tried to tell other pillars what they were supposed to do. I don't think it should work that way.

What direction are we going?

All departments need to be represented on the Site Team, especially if decisions are going to be made there and for feedback to reach all staff.

I don't know what each pillar did for staff and students.

Are our pillars intended for decision-making or for accomplishing the tasks of running a school? Is it both?

We need effective department structure to do our work well. Pillars only work as a replacement for our committees or to organize the committees.

Without a budget, pillars are crippled in they ability to make any impact.
