Memo. to:

The Division Superintendent

From:

G. Tyler Miller, Superintendent of Public Instruction

Subject:

Proposed Ten Year School Improvement Program for Virginia

I am planning to have a meeting of the Superintendent's Advisory Council
on January 6 and 7 for the purpose of reviewing materials to be used in the
development of a tentative bulletin on the proposed ten year school improvement
program for Virginia.
In this connection, we are very anxious to have suggestions from as wide
a range of school personnel and lay personnel as possible. Enclosed herewith
are enough copies of the proposed plan in order for you to furnish one copy tn
each of your elementary principals in schools of seven teachers or more, one to
each of your high school principals, and one to each of your supervisors, directors of instruction, and visiting teachers. It is my hope that these members
of your professional staff may consider the proposed program both individually
and collectively and that they may make recommendations to you as tn what they
consider should be included in the over-all tentative State program. These
suggestions may be transmitted by you directly to this office or, if the chairman of your area calls a meeting of his group prior to the meeting on January 6 and
7, you could transmit your combined suggestions directly to him at that meeting.
I hope very much that you will leave no stone unturned to secure as many
suggestions as possible from your local division since we are most anxious
the proposed plan originate from the grass roots and that this be related very
closely to the needs of the several school divisions of the State.
I realize that you are not being allowed much time but since the Superintendent's Advisory Council is to be held early in January and the State Board of
Education is meeting soon after that, the time is limited. There will be, however,
oppertunities later for all of these groups to study and make suggestions before
the bulletin is put in permanent form. This is merely an attempt to get as many
suggestions as possible before the preparation of the tentative bulletin and
should not require a great deal of time or organization.
If we have not enclosed a sufficient number of the tentative statements
for your Division, please let us know how many additional copies you need.
