Hko/edit?usp=sharing - We reviewed the document which detailed the anticipated
enrollment projections. Parent asked about the cost associated with the closing of a
classroom - furnishing and materials purchases & teacher FTE. Especially in the
scenario of closing a classroom, removing furnishings and reopening in following years.
Parent also mentioned about a misunderstanding of the reduction in classrooms and the
high school building project.
● Review Bowman Innovation Plan - Draft Bowman Innovation Plan 4.1.25 - We reviewed
the innovation plan. Parents asked about “Rise & Shine” and if we had plans to try
running the program next year. We talked about breaking the METCO students up into
manageable groups who rotate through the intervention block. Ms. Corduck indicated
that potentially we could add to the plan to reflect on the addition of items that are
currently “in the works”.
