Burncoat Prep Level 4 plan

I should perhaps point out that due to technical difficulties, this meeting is not being broadcast live.

stakeholder group finalizing their report
presenting to school community next Wednesday, January 25
then that plan goes to superintendent, who creates plan to present to School Committee
Feb. 16 School Committee meeting: presentation of turnaround plan by Superintendent Boone
possibly vote on School Improvement Grant at the same time
faculty had already been working on changes under innovation plan
next set of timelines: potential work outside of collective bargaining agreement
School Improvement Grants are available
require district to choose one of four options:
  1. close school
  2. outsource school
  3. replace 50% of faculty plus principal
  4. replace principal plus annual evaluation of staff (plus)
Boone intends to pursue money, as in past two, if School Committee approves
none of these four models represent a pancea for scuccess
"my recommendation for a model represents no lack of confidence" in school leadership
"very clear...not a statement of lack of confidence for principal and leadership team"

 Essential conditions are still in play: extended learning time is still required, as are specific professional development
increased attention to English Language Learners
