Use a tool created by Charter School Growth Fund to compare our student learning scores with everyone in the portfolio. Data provided includes achievement, growth, improvement and recovery from the pandemic in math and English Language Arts.

To ensure we have strong connections to our principals at each school, we have invited two principals to share about themselves, their work at the school sites and priorities for this year. 

Lilia Mitre will lead the connection with our alumni and parents. We will discuss stakeholders' hopes for the future. Governance pushed for greater engagement and our team presented to the committee in March. 

As requested from the board and governance committee, we have asked our leaders, Lilia Mitre Director of Parent Partnership and Lisa Finelli, Alumni Manager to share our strategy with parents and alumni and bring our stakeholders to the board meeting so they can hear directly from parents and alumni. We will break up into three small groups with parents and alumni and have board members connected with our stakeholders asking questions about what is working and vision for future.
