Budget Collab/Probable Org Update
At this writing, I've attended 12 meetings in three days, and by the end of the week, it will be 18 meetings in five days. I am impressed by the incredible preparation and attention to detail that you have done so that the meetings go smoothly. Thank you.
Formatives - January 15th
Out of 26/27 schools in EDFS (one school uses TeachPoint), our network had 203 staff on self-directed/developing plans due for a formative, and 164 or 80.8% were on time. Of 164 completed, the ratings were: 10 (6%) Exemplary, 10 (6%) Needs Improvement, and 144 (87.8%) rated Proficient. There were zero Unsatisfactory ratings. I have sent an email to each of you with some data regarding the formatives that were completed according to EDFS. This will be an automated email, so please don't take offense. I will follow up with you by phone if formatives are missing.
Retirement
Please join me in congratulating Baldwin Pilot Early Learning Center Principal Tavia Mead, who has announced that she will retire in August. I have been in touch with the Governing Board Co-Chair to launch the search process. Please communicate with your networks about this leadership opportunity. Meanwhile, Tavia continues to carry out this year's plans and setting the stage for next year. Thank you, Tavia, for informing us early so that we have ample time to conduct a search.
