Background:
|
At its December 2019 meeting, the Board directed the Administration to establish a special task force to develop capacity in attracting, retaining, and developing bilingual teachers and support staff. Since that time, the Bilingual Task Force (BTF) has been meeting monthly, and submitted the Preliminary Bilingual Task Force Report during the March 2021 Board cycle. At that time, a motion (attached) was submitted and discussed, and officially adopted at the April 2021 Board meeting. Going forward, the motion will guide the work of the BTF.
As part of its April action, the Board directed the BTF to create working groups to create further recommendations. In order to establish the working groups, an electronic form was created for members to select an area of interest as aligned to the Preliminary Bilingual Task Force Report. At the April BTF meeting, the task force shared the Preliminary Task Force Report that was presented to the Board in March.
The May BTF meeting took place the evening of May 12, 2021. Topics on the agenda included working group assignments based on responses via the electronic form, and work time for the groups. The groups will align their work to the Board’s action.
