Although the school system is not yet in full partnership, it has been participating informally, he said.
“It’s a transforming experience to go through the training,” Mrs. LaCava said. “It will be a powerful way to solve problems if everyone is trained and has the same perspective and the same goals.”
“One of the skills I had to learn was to keep my mouth shut,” Dr. Gangel said. “I need to sit down and listen. It’s a learning process. We all work together.”
He said that one of the goals is to minimize the failure rate. “Quality is everyone’s job, and if you do it right the first time, it’s cheaper,” he added.
At Tuesday’s meeting the School Board also received a bid of $40,900 from Eco Vault Corporation for an above-ground fuel oil storage tank and vault for the elementary school. It was the only bid received.
The board took no action on the bid, anticipating that Dr. Gangel will be able to work out a lease-purchase agreement with the firm, which will spread out payment for the tank over five years.
