Community School Project Talking Points

The Committee discussed talking points around the community school project so that all committee members are on the same page in regards to the structure of the program and how we communicate it to others.

Members reviewed a draft of the talking points in small groups and offered edits.

Edits:

  •       what are good key indicators?
  •       Add also on the second bullet point top point
  •       What do we mean by program when we talk about oversight over program
  •       Language? How to break down for audiences
  •       Move differences between community schools and regular schools to under what is a community school
  •       Replace academics with education
  •       How will educators and staff members be supported?
  •       Be clear about principals’ responsibility to the SWP, schools responsibility to the SWP
  •       General grammar edits (especially third bullet point on the first page)
  •       Last three bullet points need a lot of clarification

In the next two weeks send thoughts to Sheila for edits, will have final by July meeting.
