NEXT STEPS

 Present achievement gap information in a manner that

encourages growth mindset

 Allocate resources to foster equity and excellence for all

students

 Continue – Close the achievement gap K to 12  Ensure – Students have access to necessary resources to achieve

their potential

 Restructure – Afterschool/extended day programing for students

who are at risk

 Expand – Resources for students and parents to become lifelong

learners – family engagement nights, ELL Nights, events at churches and community centers

 Evaluate – Student attendance for patterns – unexcused, medical,

lateness and home visits – to reduce absenteeism
