Note that the "turnaround plans" have been created by the administration based in large part on the "stakeholder plans" that came back at last month's meeting. They also have been worked through and with the DESE (the state).
"pushing this out to the Commissioner's office for approval"
continuing conversation with union for pieces that need negotiation
principals then work with redesign teams (as they have been already)
"to date we have not received any information on the bridge grant"
state finalizing processes on School Turnaround Grants, now that they've received the money from the fed
The turnaround plan is required under state law
The redesign team works toward meeting the federal regs for the federal money
"measurable annual goals" have not been finalized yet (we don't yet have 2009-10 MCAS or retention data yet)
(the district is also coming across errors, or at least questions, in the data provided by the state in some cases)
The plan is submitted under a state-required template.
June Eressy speaks of looking forward "with enthusiasm and trepidation"
Marie Morse agrees that "this ship does not sail itself"
