why this might not be like small schools

Biancheria: some weren't eliminated because they weren't working, some were eliminated because the funding was lost
we shouldn't lose sight of the good that was done at those schools
might one be done as an expansion of an existing academy?
teachers in an academy could become an innovation school
that would be a conversion, not a new school
Question: what about the students? current students? particular subgroups of students? what input do the students have?
Mulqueen: "the student voice is critical in this whole process"
"prudent to include student voice in this plan"
teacher at Sullivan: any guidelines on how exclusive school can/has to be? from a special ed teacher
Mulqueen: "part of job of partnership team"
"you'd have to have a really good reason for doing that"
he raises the point of gifted and talented programs
Question: are they in Level 3 schools? what is your goal?
is it to improve on the gifted or is it to improve on the kids who are failing?
need parent voices
