Brent initials on goals SAP SOA- Student Opportunity Act, KDE key design element -- DESE commissioner goals align with our goals, (attendance and cellphones)
Work ties to admin team goals, collaborative approach, not tied to one individual
Documents tab in BoT needs to be shared with Brent and committee members for his uploads of evidence
Evidence is identified in the goals, or should be natural outcome of work such as meeting agenda or calendar invitation, forms, process outlines, etc.
Goals document attached
Bias in hiring is a concern - Ben asks about evidence that may be applicable - NEMNET training was about sharing the research of impact of various strategies - NEMNET minority recruiting, focus on diversity
Ben - are there other forms of diversity besides looking at race?
Brent - main focus now is race and ethnicity, where we least look like our student body
Grading and communication - traditional grades vs current system
