Highlights included:
93% IEP compliance- huge gains since last month
TC wondered if compliance correlated with growth, and MM planned to follow up as new dashboard data became available
Hiring was on track for 23-24 as the school continues to expand
Jasmine Rosario was doing excellent work as college dean, setting up rising juniors with internships and summer programs on college campuses
Attendance is strong but not quite where MM wants it- continuing to pursue chronic violators and offer buy back days
Recruitment for next year- excellent in LA. UA is ok but school still wants to resolve issue of student attrition going into 9th grade
UA suspension rate at 9%- only when necessary. UA using mediations to prevent escalations and will continue to do so.
Reviewed themes and goals of strategic plan- good discussion- committee is in favor of all three themes and the overarching goals attached with them
MM announced partnership with Open Architects for new data reporting- exciting opportunities to celebrate glows and address grows
