COMMUNITY MEETING SUMMARY

 Over 100 community members attended  Presentation  Review Process & Timeline to date  Key Components of Project  SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION TOPIC#1: In your opinion, Define what would be a Successful Fulton County STEM High School.  SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION TOPIC #2: What modifications to the proposed plan might you suggest? What other academic or facility factors should be considered as the plan nears completion?  Questions & Answers – focused on curriculum offerings & delivery

SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION TOPIC #1

In your opinion, Define what would be a Successful Fulton County STEM High School.

 Choice, flexibility, options, innovation, and opportunities were among the most cited concepts for success.  Creation of vertical alignment of programs elementary through high school was also mentioned as a measure of success.  There was strong support of developing relationships with the professional community and students graduating with certifications.

SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION TOPIC #2: PART ONE

What modifications to the proposed plan might you suggest?  A branding opportunity lies in the naming of the school.  Students should be given a choice to explore before committing to a pathway.  Include finance in the curriculum and provide STEM focused clubs.  There should be a programmatic refresh every 5 years or so based on technology and job developments.  A community governing board, including colleges, should be put in place.

What other academic or facility factors should be considered as the plan nears completion?  Facility Factors - phasing and completion:  Have a phasing plan to expand if the enrollment rises above 1,500 students.  Partial completion to open in 2019 to synchronize with the new students in Fulton Academy of Science and Technology.  Academic Factors - preparation of students and recruitment of teachers:  Consider preparing students for these programs before high school.  There is a need to prepare students and teachers for this change in learning environment.  It is important to recruit/retain the right type of educator.

SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION TOPIC #2: PART TWO
