Goals for the Committee
Goals of the committee:
Should we have a charter w/ our purpose?
Help the board interpret key data, so they can communicate with the public and can make high level decisions, and understand if we're delivering our mission. Heather putting in the primer.
We should try to go through the data dashboard every other big board meeting. We should get this out of excel and get better at Schoolzilla and Tablou. Getting Schoolzilla soon temporarily from CSGF grant.
Timing - Jan/Feb and summer are good times to do a big share-out.
Kelly and Heather gave summary of recent data dashboard findings.
Sarah to ask the full board at next meeting if the dashboard has the data they want. They will send Sarah updated dashboard w/ data before next meeting.
Sarah asked how she can be helpful? Kelly wants to know who else is good at being data-driven, what's efficient for teachers, especially given the new CA standards and new data systems.
