LCAP Presentation

 

The LCAP was presented for the board and public for feedback. Questions were asked about the data regarding what constitutes "unsafe behavior" as it is listed in the LCAP data and if it is the same kids repeatedly or different kids representing the data show?

The board wanted to know if the CAASP (California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress) data was trending the same as STAR (Standardized Test for the Assessment of Reading) for middle school students.

It was asked that acronyms were clarified on future presentations.

It was asked that there be a  presentation on competency-based grading at an upcoming board meeting.

 

Strategic Plan Goals Creation

 

The group reviewed the strategic plan document that was created from the strategic plan retreat in March 2023.

 

ED Chilcott discussed that the report identified "Culture and Climate," "Instruction and Pedagogy," and "Staffing" as the top three areas for The Academy to improve on over the next five years.

 

The team spent the next couple hours discussing thoughts around these topics and brainstorming ideas of supports. 

 

Although there were no concrete goals that came out of the retreat, there were ideas.

 

A continuation of this planning will occur at the August 13, 2023 board retreat.
