Absent: Kendra Brown, Florencio Reza, Sabrina Seedor
Draft Minutes:
Equity for 1st 2nd 3rd Grade: SAT process and diagnostic screener to help teachers with intervention and if needed special ed testing. Speed of diagnostic services (our diagnostician is a contracted service). Dyslexia Screener and LETRS training opportunities for all elementary staff to train together.
School next year: Remote option equitable for when students have to miss school for any reason (parent work, COVID symptoms/status). Members acknowledge it is hard for the teachers. State PED option of full remote school-discussion. Members note opportunity to stay remote at your own local charter. Families choose charters and we want them to be able to stay in their school of choice. Not a forced situation for our families. With risk of illness, students can stay home if symptomatic and still attend and learn.
Question about SEL needs of students attending- No dramatic increase in behaviors, several students arguing. Students have transitioned well. They say hello and engage with teachers, follow rules, socialization good at lunch, forming friendships.
Next Meeting: June 14th, 2021 6pm
