Strategic Planning Update: Draft OKRs for 21-22 School Year for Board during next round of committee meetings for input
Discussion Questions:
1) Given the year of distance learning and our recent data, what feedback / input do you have for our Academic Team and Principals' priorities for the last month of the school year?
2) What would the board like to see in terms of our academic strategy for next school year, particularly for Lodestar? (for report out in June and Summer retreat)
We continue our commitment to our academic outcomes during distance learning; Nearly 80% of families are satisfied with our current model during the pandemic.
Since November, we have been serving our most vulnerable students with in-person services. We have grown our cohorts from 40 students to 80 students.
For the rest of the spring semester, we will continue our current model, as we continue planning for expanded in-person learning for summer and fall with staff and family input.
LCPS received a little over 900 applications for the 21-22 school year. A 20% increase (whereas most district and charters saw declining application numbers)
Based on spaces available, we could only extend offers to 27% of applicants.
Close to 15% of applicants identified as African American, however, 9% of offers were made to African American students.
Close to 13% of offers extended to applicants identified as African American and another ethnicity.
We are preliminarily sharing a draft policy regarding COVID vaccinations for LCPS employees. Currently, ~75% have received at least their first round of vaccinations. This policy may be voted on in our special meeting in May.
The LCPS Health and Safety policy for COVID 19 was approved in July 2020, and has been updated to reflect current health and safety practices. This policy has been vetted by our staff and legal counsel.
