More on tonight's School Committee meeting

The report of the superintendent is now up on the agenda.
Coming back are reports of the Standing Committees on Teaching, Learning, and Student Supports, and Governance and  Employee Issues.
TLSS has the cell phone suggested revision (allowing carefully defined use of smartphones in classrooms), one of the periodic updates on the Gates Foundation grants (we've bowed out of one), service learning, and our asking the city when we're going to get a solicitor back to handle disciplinary cases (the answer: not anytime soon), and a suggestion on updating report cards.
G&EI has a report back on outsourcing of funding of athletics, the continued pursuit of making WPS a choice (some interesting stuff here: the parent survey, better marketing, open houses at middle schools for 5th graders, and college internships), the savvy text messaging the district is using (hello, Twitter!), policy manuals,and funding a Kindergarten-4 step.

As I said, this is also the agenda when the new hires come through, so the list of those positions is in, as are transfers and retirees.
We've got responses back on using food as a reward, and National Walk to School Day (October 5th!).
We have items going to administration and various committees on training site councils, helping CPPAC get reps from every school, reports on security cameras and long-term suspensions, and an update on the district testing plan, which is a response to the state's looking into procedures surrounding testing at Goddard.
7pm, City Hall!
