Letter from the Board of Education
February 9, 2021
Dear Community Members,
We hope you have had the opportunity to review today's update from the Superintendent providing information on the progress of the District's planning for the second half of the school year.
At tonight's Board meeting, the District Equity Team will provide an update to the Board and community on the progress of its work. This dedicated group has been hard at work since the summer and completed the initial phase of its work, which is its work plan for the 2020-2021 school year. Priority #3 of the initial plan, "revisiting the findings of the District Enrollment Task Force in collaboration with the community", is not included in the work-plan for the 2020-2021 school year.
As the Board previously stated, any modification to the neighborhood school model will be made after an inclusive process that involves all members of the community. Given the strain of the pandemic, aside from the completion and presentation of the District Demographic study, it has not been possible to further the recommendations of the Enrollment Task Force outlined in its May 19, 2019 report.
These recommendations are:
We recommend the Board consider the following points as they develop next steps:
The Board will discuss at a future meeting the third bullet which is the hiring of a third-party firm to assist in executing a more in-depth strategic analysis.
We hope you will be able to join us at tonight's meeting to listen and learn about the progress of the work of our dedicated teachers, staff and community members.
