Blog Topic #5: Does your CP get caught in conflict relating to its local and state relationships?

Yes my CP does get caught in conflict relating to its local and state relationships. For example Mrs.Cosgriff is responsible to maintain great relationship with the school district and the city council. Mrs. Cosgriff must ensure all paper work regarding the ACES program is kept under record. She must provide the students progress each year, if not the school could lose their grant for this program. Allen school is a title one school, which means that 60% percent of the students are enrolled on free or reduced lunch. Also, 60% percent of the students have parents who are low income earners.

I will oversee a little bit of the paper work Mrs. Cosgriff is preparing to reapply for the school grant. In order to avoid conflict, Mrs. Cosgriff must make sure the report is finished by the end of the year. Another CP would be the school district. The district gets caught in conflict with the state if certain criteria is not met for the ACES program.

This program is funded by the the state. The grant was created by a California State ballot three years ago. People voted to ensure that programs like ACES are in schools to help students enrich their academics. My CP has to make sure that students are benefiting and progressing in this program in order to avoid conflict from the local and everyone in the state who are paying for this grant through taxes. (P.S. My CP will send me an email of the contract betweent the state and the school regrading the program later on this month).
