Expatiate Special Education Services Presentation
Matt Brown introduced the special education services option and explained the need and how this contract could be a potential solution and way to save money while providing more congruent services to students.

Report on Progress on Goals by the CEO
Dr. Carranza presented on his goals related to building a curriculum map. He stated the Principals used FAIB instead of identifying power standards and then correlated those to the curriculum map. Bridgette added that she focused on standards and what was being taught and when it was being taught to ensure consistency at her school. She stated that she checked with Ms Torres and created a guide for unit lesson plans. Mr. Thompson stated that they used priority standards aligned to FIAB to create unit maps that were aligned to the overall curriculum map.
