Background:
|
At its March 2021 meeting, the Committee on Accountability, Finance and Personnel (AFP) received the attached report of the Bilingual Task Force, relative to the development of strategies and guidelines for attracting, retaining and developing bilingual teachers and support staff.
At is March 2021 meeting, the Committee on Student Achievement and School Innovation (SASI) received the attached report on standardized testing. Public hearing was given on both items.
While these items were presented to the committees as reports with no action required, the committees chose to make a recommendations. These recommendations, however, were inadvertently omitted from the Reports of the Standing Committees at the March Regular Board meeting. Therefore, the committees’ recommendations relative to these two items are being brought forward so that the Board may consider and act on them.
On March 11, 2021R-021, the Committee on Student Achievement and School Innovation considered and gave public hearing on Resolution 2021R-021, by Director Woodward regarding the official designation of an MPS African immersion school with the primary language of Spanish.
The Administration recommended adoption of the resolution as presented. However, the Committee recommended a different course of action. When the Committee’s report was being compiled for submission to the Board at its regular monthly meeting on March 25, 2021, it was the Administration’s recommendation that was inadvertently included. As a result of the inclusion of the Administration's recommendation in the Committee’s report, it was adopted along with the balance of the reports at the March 25, 2021, meeting.
