SLIDE 8 8
Updates From Last Year:
- Criteria #7 (Faculty & Staff to include: Personnel, CEO, Bldg Level Administrator, etc.)
- As a result of lessons learned in previous grant cycles about lack of communication to and among
ALL stakeholders, new language was added to help ensure that there is, “a clear communication plan in place – particularly between the CEO, Superintendent, LBOE, and the CCA Board.
- Criteria #8 (Plan to Increase Work-based Learning Opportunities)
- In response to smaller district input about WBL being impacted by lack of transportation, new
language was added that would allow for “simulated or high school “on-site” work-based learning
- pportunities.
- Criteria #9 (Grade Level, Enrollment, and Student Focus)
- In an effort to help further explain “wrap around services” and to better align with the description
given in the GCCA Certification Manual, language was added that spells out, “physical, social, financial, and emotional needs of students” that need to be considered by districts as part of adding a CCA.
- The rewrite even includes examples of pertinent local wrap-around services agencies (i.e. Family
Connections, Operation Early Intervention, Housing Authority, Health Dept., etc.).
- As a third level of emphasis, new language was that stresses, “the partnership’s commitment to
helping students meet their full potential by recognizing and celebrating individual and/or group successes in areas such as: post-secondary transitions, post-graduate job placement/internships, scholarships, etc.”
