Jordan w/ Staffing:

• Biggest metrics:
  • Operational capacity: taking the total number of filled positions versus the staffing plan. Also adding that metrics may change as the staffing plan changes throughout the year. 
    • Driving towards 
    • > 95% capacity and above would be green status. 
    • 85-95% would be yellow 
    • below 85% would be red. 
  • Leadership Satisfaction Survey: Potentially get a baseline for this year. There would be 4-5 questions on a sliding scale.
    • Potential questions:
      • I have a clear understanding of my accountabilities and how they bring value to LACS.
      • I have access to the resources needed to excel in my current role at LACS.
      • I receive the coaching that I need to further my professional development.
      • If I were offered the same position with similar pay and benefits at another school, I would stay at LACS.
• When do they occur? When are the checkpoints?
  • Operational capacity could happen whenever. The recommendation is quarterly. This could be implemented right away.
  • Leadership satisfaction could be done at a baseline this year and then could be reviewed for next year. 
    • We'll need to set metrics here to fall within the green, yellow, red ranges. 

Jake w/ Finance:

• Biggest metrics:
  • Budget actuals that are updated monthly. There is a lag to close out the month.
    • Four ratios/actuals:
      • Quick
      • Debt to asset
      • Cash on Hand
      • Cash Ratio
      • Overall enrollment number
  • Are financial processes being followed? Are the annual financials a positive report? Did you get a clean opinion? They also look at HR based things (like years of experience from teachers). Something on the financial audit needs to be built in with those. 
    • Maybe we can look to see if there are adjustments made from the year before in this year?
• When do they occur? When are the checkpoints?
  • Monthly & at the end of the year
  • Quarterly we do red, green and yellow as it relates to the four ratios. 
  • Annually we look at the financial audit to see if a clean opinion was given AND if there was growth from last years items. 
  • Opinion would be reviewed in October. From there, how does she remedy the significant matters throughout the rest of the academic year to be reviewed in May. 
     

Jaime w/ Academics:

•  Biggest metrics:
  • 5-10% growth in all subjects on LEAP. There should be a category for where they land and for growth. 
  • Similar measures for MAP. 
  • Considering having a long term goal for LEAP that the school based grade is maintained or moved every three years?
  • To give a range of performance:
    • Ineffective- way below grade level (D, F)
    • Effective Emerging- Below grade level (C >) 
    • Effective proficient- Grade level ( B > )
    • Highly effective - Above grade level (A)
• When do they occur? When are the checkpoints?
  • LEAP is once a year in April. Results are in August
  • MAP is 3x a year in August, December and March. Results in 48 hours. 
     

Nick w/ Governance: 

• Biggest metrics:
  • Leadership turnover (may relate to staffing operational capacity. 
  • Are we fully enrolled and keeping our students? Are our waitlists filled out?
  • Needs to be affiliated with a particular year's objectives. 
  • Maybe fundraising could agree to finance. 
• When do they occur? When are the checkpoints?
  • School calendar would be the window. 

Next steps:

• Take these metrics and overlay it with the school year calendar. 
• LACPS specific rubric is the one we've used in the past. 
• Bring this to the board for final input.
