Call the Meeting to Order

II. Academics

A.

Georgia STEM/ STEAM Certification Process vs COGNIA Process

During this section, the committee voted to add the DSA Administration Team as full voting members to the Academics team. They should be added to the Board on Track with full voting powers. 

We also went through the rubric for the State of Georgia in detail and had a robust discussion on the parameters set before us as it relates to STEAM certification. We asked that the DSA Team tell us where they are in preparation for the journey to certification. They gave the steps they have taken thus far towards certification. PBL journey, culture journey, touring other schools, getting schools upgrades, and making incremental changes that will put them on the right track towards the certification journey. I let the committee know that this committee's work will be focused on assisting DSA on being successful in making positive forward progress toward certification. 

B.

Board members talked about surveying businesses around the school for potential partners.
