A.

Update

See presentation for numbers of engaged students. Teachers sent a list to counselors of students who were engaged and the school worked to get the students what they needed to stay engaged. What kind of wraparound services are being offered? The social worker and parent liasons are working to ensure social and emotional health. Counselors are still doing lunch bunches virtually with students. Teachers have been asked to provide a list of students who need to be monitored over the summer. 
Remediation - Teachers are teaching virtual summer school and offering credit recovery support. 
Testing next year - looking into taking benchmarks online and offering more constructed response tests. *One bright spot here is that students are doing better constructed responses and they seem to be acquiring "technology stamina" so they are focused on good answers and not just getting something down. 
Reentry - a task force has been assembled to plan for reentry, along with a survey being sent to families - multiple scenarios at once - virtual options and face to face. 

III. Closing Items

Adjourn Meeting

There being no further business to be transacted, and upon motion duly made, seconded and approved, the meeting was adjourned at 5:28 PM.

Respectfully Submitted,
