School Committee Recap - Nov 28, 2017

The recap of the School Committee meeting held in two parts on Tuesday evening, Nov 28, 2017 can be found here.

Training/Overview Session
The first of the two sessions was an overview and training session for the newly formed committee.

Superintendent Sara Ahern provided an overview of the District Improvement Plan (DIP) and lead into her entry plan. Each school's improvement plan takes the DIP down to their level for standardization across the district and includes school specific objectives.
