What if...

Havent posted in awhile but I am diving back in today.  After recentley reading the article on Forbes about business training programs, it got me thinking about schools. The article talked about trainging cost, and how using volunteer programs was a better use of dollars for training.

In the world of schools we volunteer all the time but it seems like a large portion of that is tied back into doing something for the schools. (Games, Dances, Dinners, Bingo...etc)  What if schools took an a different approach and encouraged volunteering specifically not tied to schools.  Would it help teachers and admininstrators intermingle with more community memebers and help create a more open feeling for people to come into the schools?  Would it help teachers and schools guard against burn out?

Just wondering if schools could use this model and really engage their staff and community?  Maybe this works with the Google 20% idea or maybe its just a Pay it Forward mentality.

If there is schools out there running with this please let me know.  Just wondering....What if?
