On June 9, the six DACEE Best Practices Committees presented “Recommendations for Success” to the Board of Education. Since that time, the District has been evaluating these recommendations, and many have been implemented or are scheduled for near-future implementation. In fact, internal (District 100 staff) team leaders have been assigned to each set of Committee recommendations, as follows:
· Early Childhood Education: Jane Bagus
· Literacy Development (formerly Intervention Strategies): Laura Massarella
· Accelerated and Magnet Programs: Laura LaSalle
· Staff Development: Marilyn McManus
· School Community Engagement: Stan Fields (interim)
· Technology: Jim Kloss
On Wednesday, August 25, 7 PM at the LaVergne Center, each of these leaders will be reporting on their implementation strategies to the Board of Education. I urge all to attend this meeting, first, as a matter of interest and concern for our school district, and second to hold the district accountable for those thoughtful, research-based recommendations that were a direct result of our School Board's stated vision of being in the top 25% of school districts in Illinois. Please read the recommendations! If each comes to fruition, there is nothing to stop District 100 from being a model for excellence in Illinios!
I hope to see you next Wednesday.
