The committee shared reactions to the DEI Listening Circles Report, and heard from the Leadership Team about the recommendations section of the report, which is currently being prepared for distribution to the school community.  

Carla and Jason reported on DEAT's plans to do lottery outreach at community events in the tier one attendance zone in January and February.  

Discussion of:  board vote on lottery language to be held at December meeting, which will allow economically disadvantaged students from the tier 2 and/or 3 attendance zones to be added to lottery for purpose of achieving diversity goals; need for a special board meeting in early March to vote on recommendations made by statistician Jarod Apperson based on his analysis of lottery data; and overview of decisions that will need to be made at that meeting.  

The Committee agreed to vote in January on a proposal to suspend privileged admission for board members' children in cases in which the next child in line for admission is economically disadvantaged and the diversity goals for the grade level in question have not been reached.  If approved at the January Committee meeting, this proposal will be presented to the full board for a vote at the January meeting.
