jasonwester — 2023-11-14 16:26:33 UTC

Fewer transitions would have a poisive impact on negative student behaviors

Short and Long Term Plan for the facility

2023-11-14 22:13:24 UTC

Renovations, communication about plans, what to do with space

Can lead to community buy in

CTE Teachers and Opportunities (Alternative)

2023-11-14 22:18:43 UTC

More CTE for 7/8

Scheduling (Current)

Could we utilize a different structure to better utilize shared staff?

Communication

Strong communication to staff and community about plans and pros and cons of these ideas.

Staffing uncertainty

Have a clear communicated plan from the get go.

(Alternative) CTE/elective opportunities and transitions

2023-11-14 22:22:54 UTC

Electives can be utilized for younger students, as well as having less transitions has been seen to assist in reducing behaviors for middle aged students

Student Bussing (Alternative)

2023-11-14 22:24:30 UTC

Bussing two less grades could alleviate some of the chaos that happens when transitioning from EL/MS building to HS.

SRG - GPA (Alternative)

2023-11-14 22:24:33 UTC

Have to marry the way that we are doing SRG at the MS and at the HS.

Systems in place

2023-11-14 22:25:42 UTC

Grading

Curriculum alignment

trimesters vs semesters

behavior/admin

Student Behavior (Alternative)

2023-11-14 22:26:50 UTC

Could staffing be modified to help administration as well as improve learning environment for all

Courses (Alternative)

2023-11-14 22:30:04 UTC

more math and science opportunities for both high school and 7/8

(7/8 students to algebra, etc)

Strong Staff (Alternative)

2023-11-14 22:33:07 UTC

"We've always done it this way" can be a dangerous way of thinking. We do have a strong staff that could combat this by encouraging change. Not afraid to tackle tough situations.
