The Board of Ed meets tomorrow

You can find the agenda here.
After the opening remarks and public comment, there will be a presentation on family engagement initiatives (which so far sound like a lot of planning?).
There will be an update on the receivership districts of Lawrence, Holyoke, and Southbridge. In the case of Lawrence, John Connolly, who serves as chair of the receivership panel, is part of the presentation.
There is a report on Greenfield Virtual Charter which has its charter up for renewal; Commissioner Riley is recommending a three year renewal and removal of its probationary status, though:

As summarized below, GCVS met most of these conditions with one notable exception: Greenfield Commonwealth Virtual School has failed to show significant academic improvement in mathematics and English language arts.

There is an update on MCAS, specifically around grade 10 standard setting, and the competency determination both now and moving forward.

There will also be an initial discussion around proposed changes in the accountability system (which are not described in the backing memo, so I guess we'll find out tomorrow).

The agenda also has an update on grants and one on other charter actions.
