May Board of Ed: Holyoke

 Soto: started with a listening tour
"students are at the center of everything we do"
just went through a rezoning model: elementary, middle, high schools
a lot of lifting learning profile to support high expectations
strategic planning process focus on five things: early literacy, learning experiences, inclusion, whole child, educator development 

opportunity academies: working on dropout rate

advanced coursework now more closely mirroring demographics of district

continuous improvement cycle: evaluate and analyze; develop and plan; feedback; refine and plan

"now that we finally have the Student Opportunity Act"

challenges: staffing consistency and vacancies; mental health needs for students; more developed multi-tiered system of supports; more students needing out of district placements

"Junto Podemos" Together we can
