Virtual meeting executive commitee: 
Reviewed a few things: meeting of boardshares in Tampa (Evelyn and Javier attending) 
Academic Committee Meeting: 
1) Create executive dashboard, help making decisions around academics 
    - Comparison to last year; comparison to other schools in network
        - State tests - can compare to Metro 
         - not a lot of mid year 
    - Pieces of data - graduation rate
   - Long term metrics vs. short term metrics

Alix commented on individualized data or metrics that are helpful to her but hard to digest at a higher level 

Dr. Barry commented on a few LHA data points that may be helpful. What are the data elements 
NWA fall, winter, spring (writ score) test results (can measure growth)
Interim assessments - what teachers are getting 60% or above in certain areas, arrange for those teachers to go to those classrooms (only for 3-8)
How much each school is progressing 
Bottom quartile to 3rd or higher quartile 
Short term - neutral to subject, skills for 9-12
Alix discussed end of quarter
SAT/ACT; GPA
High schools compared to other LHA and other NYC 
Pass/Fail rate
Internal benchmarks to be decided by Alix

School Culture committee 
- confusion with attire 
- creating committees that seniors wanted 

1) Long term data   
2) Short term metrics (including skill sets)

August test scores: 
City ELA 41%, state Math was 40%, ELA 35%, Math 30% (moved from 17% to 35%, closing in on city average)
At or above city average, for 5 year renewal (or 3 year renewal).  We will always beat district schools, but want 5 year renewal. 
Offer chess, fencing, art K-8, music (bringing arts back, but break classes up)

Playworks - recess for social/emotional learning

Promotion rate decreased slightly.  Regents Test results for bio and english looked good.

Need for data for director's report. (Comparison to other network schools)

2 candidates through 6 step, made an offer, and was turned down. 

Looking to the next candidate. 

Discuss about talent management - key points from Harvard review
1) Starting early 
2) Pipeline with college partnerships (help with special education training for example; internships)
3) Talent mgmt systems - nimble and effective (demographic, employee lifecycle, feel like a place you want to work, etc)
