8	School Safety Reviewed incident that recently occurred at MLMS where an MLMS student stole a car, took a short drive, and crashed and left the car in the parking lot. Because he entered the building after, the response was initially a hall check and then moved into full lockdown.

23	Break Out Groups to Review Data and Brainstorm Ideas Small groups reviewed data with the instructions to review data, look for specific items to address and what we might be able to do to address them. Reviewed data packets that included RISE data, essential learning proficiency data, and data specifically for English learners. Also reviewed data on the effectiveness of coaching (data slides included below). Group Report-Out: Tabel 1- discussed actionable items Evaluate how re-teach on Wednesdays are going and if it is working, how do we expand it. Re-teach Wednesdays are an opportunity for reviewing, reteach, makeup, enrichment. Teams are expected to do targetedintervention on Wednesdays and teach new material the other 4 days of the week. Divided up into completing work, intervention, and enrichment to differentiate among needs. We should also evaluate whether attendance is going down. One of the key ways to improve test scores is to target the mid-performing students rather than Table 3 - How do we help the group that is really low get caught up and not just stay below Question – what is the overlap in EL and economically disadvantaged? How much support do parents have working with EL students and to differentiate supports? What can we do Table 4 - Why is there such a discrepancy between how we’re doing on the learning standards and the RISE assessments – why are the scores on the learning standards so much higher? When those don’t align, teachers are asked to consider rigor, retention, alignment, and transference Do we need to consider test-taking skills? Study skills? Had previously focused on Avid and focused note-taking. Consider standards-based reports for students and parents as well as for teachers – using the learning standards Table 2- English Learners went up on the WIDA Would like more information on the data shared about coaching being more effective than other PD. Principal Wagner will share those data with the council. Assignment – take the data home, review them and continue thinking about what we can do to improve.	SarahAnn Delaney
