NEXT THOUGHTEXCHANGE PROCESS BEGINS APRIL 6
|
| Community collaboration forum will explore long-range planning |
Nearly 3,400 parents, community members, and staff participated in our first-ever Thoughtexchange community collaboration process last fall. In that process, we sought feedback on what our schools were doing well and what could be improved (see the results of that process here). In response to some of the top concerns of class size, Common Core, and student safety, we have developed a five-step reinvestment plan, created an SBAC information page , and updated our safety needs by building in addition to focusing on bullying prevention. In this process, we will delve into the topic of long-range planning. Participants will be asked to weigh in on what constitutes a high-performing school district and share their thoughts on grade configuration for our schools. Look for a heads-up e-mail from Superintendent Scott this Thursday, April 2, and an invitation e-mail from either Mr. Scott or your principal on April 6.
