A1:
Improve long-term planning to address the infrastructure and technology required
to support ongoing program development and evaluation, design and operation of
efficient and effective facilities, implementation of critical staffing models,
and the delivery of the quality instruction and assessment critical to
graduating students.
A2:
Through the environmental curriculum and long-term partnerships with MDE, the
Conservancy and local groups, students have made a positive impact on local eco-
systems and should be supported in taking ownership of additional Green School
projects. System-wide, we should expand implementation of energy management,
green O&M, and LEED standards in renovations.
A3:
Allocation of needs-based resources, including
staffing, technology, and related supports, must continue for programs that
provide for critical assessment, evaluation and continuous improvement of
targeted instruction and interventions for individual students. These include
tutorials, double-booked classes, co-teaching models, and after-school programs.
