Greetings,
Pittsburgh Public Schools has an urgency to think differently about how it delivers a 21st Century education to all students – especially during a time when revenues are flat and expenditures are increasing. The District faces the challenge of closing a $50MM budget shortfall while ensuring that the structures are in place to support its vision that 80% of Pittsburgh Public Schools students earn a post-secondary degree or workforce certification. In January 2013, the District embarked on a large scale visioning process called Envisioning Education Excellence: A Plan for All of Pittsburgh's Students to address the current state challenges and future goals of the District. Continued engagement of students, teachers, principals, funders, and the broader community is critical to the success of this project.
In an effort to incorporate the community's feedback on Pittsburgh Public Schools into the Envisioning work, we'd like for you to take this short survey. It should take ~10 minutes to complete and your responses will remain anonymous. Your input will be used internally to assist in future decision making and evaluate proposed actions for the District.
You can find the link to the survey here: Pittsburgh Public Schools Online Survey. It will be open until Friday, May 31st.
Please forward this message along to your networks so that others can take the survey. If you want to learn more about the work we are doing, please visit our website: Envisioning Educational Excellence. You may also feel free to email envisioning@pghboe.net with any questions.
Kind regards,
The Pittsburgh Public Schools "Envisioning Excellence" Team

Dear Friends and Family,
I'm counting the days 'til June 1st, the release date for "My House Our House: Living Far Better for Far Less in a Cooperative Household," St. Lynn's Press. "MHOH" 2013 is the new, improved and expanded edition of the book I co-authored with housemates Karen M. Bush and Jean McQuillin. It is available in bookstores and online.
The three of us are loving what the AARP gurus call our "encore career." It's a wild but energizing ride, scrambling to master the basics of writing, public speaking and marketing while keeping those day jobs all at the same time. (Whew! Social media is a challenge for Boomers.)
Karen, Jean and I were proud to be appointed to the Advisory Board of the Cohouseholding Project (Cohouseholding.org), and to be featured in an upcoming June 2013 AARP Bulletin article by Sally Abrahms and on the AARP multimedia site. Fingers crossed that the pix are not embarrassing.
Please invite your friends to join us online; i.e., spread the word!

Best wishes from my/our house to your house,
Louise
P.S. Feels like I just wrote my Christmas letter in May.
Endorsements for "MHOH":
