Biancheria: where are we starting

"not sure exactly what piece is going to be our best tool to start with" (Compact, mission statement, strategic goals)
"where is the starting point, do we use the tools that we have, are we looking at our individual goals, are we looking for ones we agree on..."

Boone answers:
Compact: : "certainly a starting point"
"what I saw emerging as indicators of student success...with some measurable goals in there"
"represents a vision"
Goals: "represent the framework" around the accountability plan
"we use this to link to that improvement strategy"
"everything that we do will be based on these goals"
"School Committee can use these as a springboard"
"some of the funding aspects...what's in the School Committee very near sphere of influence"
"may want to address student achievement...at a very high level"
"it isn't just the School Committee...the administration will be using these as we're doing our work, as well"
