School changes update

A few notes, having now watched the meeting:

• plans for meetings with parents about this as early as March
• much of this will depend on which schools are deemed Level 4 schools by the state later this month
  
• a though that this could save as much as $2 million in costs (in reconfiguration)
• suggestion from Mulqueen that every quadrant have its own focus (one of arts, etc) with the idea that this would give parents choices.
  

The administration is clearly throwing a lot of energy behind this. This is the first presentation of this for the School Committee.

"...early employability and career exploration in grades K through 12"
"we need to keep the ideal in front of us"
