2025-01-21 15:39:09 UTC

Good that it's on one day.

2025-01-21 15:40:16 UTC

May help with DPI availability.

2025-01-21 15:41:19 UTC

More streamlined and better use of time.

2025-01-21 15:42:20 UTC

General overview of Standards Updates and timelines.

Could help district planning around DPI mtgs.

2025-01-21 15:42:24 UTC

2025-01-21 15:42:30 UTC

It could be a con to be out of the building 2 days in a row if you are a small district.

MTSS

For Catawba - Mondays and Tuesdays

2025-01-21 15:43:21 UTC

2025-01-21 15:43:24 UTC

Dates may not match up well with when info is published.

Scheduling/Planning

2025-01-21 15:44:25 UTC

Once dates are published they will have to stick because we set up district meetings/trainings and school trainings around other meetings and we begin planning in early summer.

For Newton -Conover - No Mondays

2025-01-21 15:44:29 UTC

District staff who wear multiple "hats" may struggle to be present at all applicable sessions (Ex: A CAO who is also an EL director).

2025-01-21 15:44:57 UTC

2025-01-21 15:45:49 UTC

When choosing dates, make sure to look at school calendars for districts in the Northwest to avoid teacher workdays.

The district could be left with very thin support if all directors are pulled on the same days.

2025-01-21 15:45:57 UTC

Days to avoid

2025-01-21 15:46:09 UTC

Our group agreed about avoid Mondays and several agreed to avoid Tuesdays as well

2025-01-21 15:46:40 UTC

What will be the new focus from Superintendent Green and new initiatives. Where do we stand with POG and Aspire

We feel like we do that now...

2025-01-21 15:47:08 UTC

We feel guilty we cannot make it a meeting now...

2025-01-21 15:48:25 UTC

We wear multiple hats and this would streamline some of the meetings into 2 days.

More time for Central Services to work. Streamlined.

2025-01-21 15:48:26 UTC

PRO

2025-01-21 15:48:49 UTC

I could see where this could be a better use of time and streamline meetings

2025-01-21 15:49:16 UTC

Like that it is consolidated into two days and avoids the conflicts

Multiple hats and not being able to be in every meeting they feel they need to be in.

2025-01-21 15:49:26 UTC

Using AI to assist teachers with Planning

2025-01-21 15:49:54 UTC

The right purpose rather than doing the "work" for us...ethically

We are team players and will do what we need to do.

2025-01-21 15:49:57 UTC

Monday

2025-01-21 15:50:16 UTC

2025-01-21 15:50:18 UTC

Make sure the sessions are at the same location or all of them virtual

Tuesday or Thursdays are usually district principal meetings.

2025-01-21 15:50:59 UTC

The sooner we know the flow and dates the quicker we can start finding a way to make it work.

2025-01-21 15:51:43 UTC

2025-01-21 15:52:11 UTC

Ashe- No Mondays

2025-01-21 15:52:26 UTC

Fridays

What else...

2025-01-21 15:52:55 UTC

When when know these dates as a district, it's easier to plan district meetings so the quicker/earlier these come out the better...

Ashe- Yes, we will commit to that

2025-01-21 15:55:21 UTC

2025-01-21 16:34:49 UTC

Yes.

2025-01-21 16:36:44 UTC

It helps avoid conflicts and would provide more productive days.
