Full Day, Parents, Students

The NEASC committees met during the November 8th full professional development day to gather evidence. After an initial meeting with Ann Ashworth, our NEASC representative during the process, we changed a few details. First off, each steering committee member has been assigned as liaison to one of the committees. As it worked out, there was a diversity of members who had experience on committees, so our assigned liaisons really knew their standard. Second, we have assigned students and parents to committees so that our main constituencies have their voice heard. Our teachers have been out and about gathering evidence, contacting student support, city hall, and central office. The Endicott Surveys have also been completed: 90% of students participated; 40% of parents; 100% of teachers: solid numbers. We will be receiving these reports in 2-3 weeks and then will begin to analyze them and use them as we gear up to write our reports. Next up is the February half day of evidence gathering, analyzing the Endicott Surveys, and meeting our parent and student volunteers.
