School Redesign Phase 1

At the September meeting, Dr. McGinley introduced 16 draft criteria for school restructuring. Starting in mid September, CCSD convened seven public engagement sessions to solicit community feedback on each proposed factor. These meetings attracted over 900 students, parents, staff, county and constituent Board members, and faith-based and business leaders. During each session, participants completed surveys rating the proposed 16 criteria. In addition, surveys and definitions were posted on the district website in English and Spanish for review. Every student’s household was called via ParentLink, and materials were sent to PTA groups and SIC chairs.

During each public engagement meeting, the Superintendent provided an overview of the School Redesign Plan and process. Following this presentation, attendees broke into small groups, where they were led by a group leader-a member of the CCSD staff-who helped them to fill out a survey form on the proposed criteria; answered any questions they might have; and recorded feedback from each participant on a flip-chart.
