"vested in their students"
O'Connell: much of the work was underway
testament to staff, leadership, parents: fine-tuning process in the middle of the process
"much of the plan was written when we expect the MCAS to remain the progress...is there anything that's going to change under the post-waiver requirements?"
Boone: requirements in waiver and Levels are still there
"rather than having 100% of kids proficient by 2014" schools required to narrow achievement gap
plus level 4 school has benchmarks

"include...a member of the PTO or site council to participate in CPPAC"

costs of all this: expensive plan
need for adjustment counselor; wraparound coordinator
community connections: who is on board here?
