Note that the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education not only meets tomorrow (for their regular monthly meeting); they meet TONIGHT for the first of two of what they're calling "study sessions" on vocational admissions. That meeting is only online and starts at 5.
The regular meeting is tomorrow, starts at 9, and includes:
- updates on accountability for Holyoke Public Schools, John Avery Parker (New Bedford), Van Sickle Academy (Springfield), High School of Commerce (Springfield), Oliver Middle School (Lawrence)
- information on what they're calling a "Curriculum Data Dashboard"
- literacy reviews in Educator Preparation and Registered Teacher Apprenticeship Program
- and "Continuation of DESE's Strategy to Advance Student Learning, Including Potential New Initiatives"
(can we talk about this thing where Every Major Word Is Capitalized in Agenda Items?)
Agenda for all of that is here. Livestream will come up here.
