Agenda Item / Discussion / Action / Who/Deadline
  1. Working Matrix
/ ­Meeting began at 1:00pm
­We see the need for differentiation
  • Alternative schools need differentiated support, feel excluded if under 100 students

  1. Diversity Equity Lens
/ ­Are we a multi-disciplinary peer group? Is that a requirement for us?
  • No, the entire consolidated team (over 60 members) covers that requirement
­Students needs are different in different schools
­Diversity in schools gaps in income not in race or ethnicity
  1. Law
/ ­Process framework for identified schools needs to be generic enough that districts can access and use it…. Need to use same framework
  • no coherence in struggling schools, they are all on different plans/systems
  • some use Indistar, some use other tools
­Think about smaller districts
  • Regional ESD has small districts/schools do not have the capacity to work for the 3 years
  • Needs differentiated system

  1. Process Recommendation
/ ­2/3 majority to push proposal
­Dana, Lorna, Rich, Michael Stone working together
  1. Possible Interventions
/ ­Recycle ideas that are research based
  • Some of the work has already been done, why are we reinventing the wheel
­Menu of Best Practices
­Sub Groups (Gil Mendoza)
  • Same as in past, underperforming for two or more years, looking at the gap
