The North Central Board of Education addressed no official business during their April 3, 2023 meeting, opting instead to showcase to the community what their new culture program entails.
The staff and faculty of North Central Local Schools has been hard at work going through behavioral training, learning to “respond instead of react.”
Superintendent Michael Bute called on the community to further enforce this culture change in their everyday lives, highlighting how taking a moment to remove yourself from your emotions can help you to use logic in further responses.
He stressed that parents should not react to teachers and staff in front of students, instead taking the time to reflect and then calmly respond in a more professional and logical manner.
Superintendent Bute wishes to continue going deeper into the culture playbook, stressing that these changes don’t happen overnight.
The culture change should show an attitude change, which should then further enforce the culture that North Central Local Schools is committed to experiencing.
