District lays out guidelines... CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:1 administrative meetings and workshops, are an attempt to clarify site-based leadership in the schools. "These are the results of work that had been done at the summer retreat and into the fall [in an effort ] to refine and evolve site-based man- agement."Grenier explained. "The Administrative Leader- ship Team put together asort of operational definition of what site-based leadership looks like in the schools." The definition was created in direct response to the on- going question of how the district should interpret site- based leadership andwhat the roles and responsibilities of school officials become when the primary reference point is no longer traditional central- 'zed decision-making. It's hoped that principals, school officials , staffers and even parents will have a bet- ter understanding of how site-based leadership works. "The principals are getting their hands around this and saying, 'This is my authority base.'" said Grenier. " 'Thisis where my domain ofauthority and power rest.'" According to the print ver- sion of the definition , which Grenier shared during the meeting, site-based leader- ship aims to decentralize decision-making with regard to areas such as accountabil- ity goals, staffing, progr ams and strategies , procedures and practices, appropriate facilities management, and executing daily operation. Site-based leaders at the in- dividual schools are required to adhere to state and district standards while respecting the vision and values of the district , students, staff and community."Thisreally helps to define people'srealm of au- thority," said Grenier. "When they have questions,they can go back at it. It's a place to start the dialog: 'Can I really make this curriculum deci- sion? Can I make this staffing change?'" The school committee ap- proved of the definition , with slight modifications put forth by chairman Ralph Cahoon and vice chairman Patrick Murphy. Cahoon was con- cerned that the definition didn't adequately address the leadership of aparticular site. "A definite part of site-based leadership and inclusiveness in decision-making is the use of input from administrators, staff, and parents at the site," said Cahoon. "Just like we're trying to be more inclusive and collaborative at the dis- trict level, we want to make sure the sites follow the same tenets." Cahoon felt it should be noted that, "We're not trying to decentralize the power from the superintendent to create little fiefdoms for the new princes. If we wanted to do, that we could just keep one boss instead of having 10 bosses." Murphy was concerned that the municipal side of the district , specifically finance and human resources,receive recognition for its role in the system, maintaining the service mentality to the sites from the central office. Takingthe suggestions into consideration , Grenier was pleased with the overall re- ception of the newly framed guidelines. "This is one that potentially works for every- body," she said. Barros bests Bennett... CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:1 the Nantucket Board of Selectmen. In Barnstable, Bennett beat Barros in all four Hyannis precincts -the village that boasts (?) the airport rotary. In the district overall, Barros led him 55 to 39 percent. In another local race of interest, Kelly Kevin Lydon of West Barnstable, a member of the zoning board of appeals, made a creditable show in his campaign for a seat on the governor's council. In Barnstable, he outpolled incumbent Carole Fiola 3,714 to 1,187, but lost overall, 45 to 55 percent. Democratic gubernato- rial winner Deval Patrick swept the town except for Precinct 5 (Osterville), where Attorney General Tom Reilly prevailed. Har- wich lieutenant governor candidate Andrea Silbert got neighborly support across the town, but finished third statewide behind Tim Murray of Worcester. The Republicans chose Kenneth Chase to go after Hyannisport's Ted Ken- nedy and his U.S. Senate seat in November. The winner was supported by all Barnstable precincts save No. 3 (Hyannis). Overall turnout was 26 percent , with pre- cincts 1 (Barnstable), 2 (Centerville) and 7 (Cotuit) tying for top hon- ors at 30 percent and Pre- cinct 9 (Hyannis) trailing the pack at 20 percent.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE A:1 Bass River and skirted the late and lamented Cape Cod Coliseum in Yarmouth before turning south to hook up with recreation areas around the old landfill , slicing through heavily wooded water conser- vation land, and popping out on Willow Street across from the Yarmouth Campground. The rest is up to the Town of Barnstable,YarmouthDepart- ment of Public Works Director George Allaire said. A bridge (preferred to atunnel because of the high water table) will bring cyclists across and send them south along the west side of the railroad tracks and across Route 28 (how, no one said) to the Hyannis Transportation Center and west through state Fish and Wildlife lands toward Cape Cod Community College. Design money for the long- anticipated Dennis-Yarmouth extension is in the federal government'sFiscalYear2007 budget , with construction funds available three cycles afterthat.Wednesday'ssession was among several pre-design meetingsbeingheldby govern- ment officials and consulting companies to ascertain the public's preferences. As with any bike path , in- cluding the existing rail trail from Dennis to Wellfleet,peo- ple accustomed to privacy are concerned about being put on display for cycling passersby. Avariety of screening alterna- tives was discussed. The neighborhood that may benefit least from the exten- sion is the Yarmouth Camp- ground,which has been doing the Dance of the Seven Veils ever since widening of Willow Street began stripping away its sylvan shelter. A spokes- man for the historic area, where popular revival meet- ings were held in the 1800s, noted that the approaches for the bike bridge would likely wipe out the last line of trees that screens the homes from the road.
