Agenda Item Summary:
|
This Board Brief provides the final report from the needs assessment conducted by FourPoint Education Partners as a part of the strategic planning process. Initial findings were provided to the Board in a Board Brief on October 25, 2019. The needs assessment examined six domains: finance, governance, school improvement, instructional delivery, college, career, and life readiness, and community voice. Based upon their needs assessment, FourPoint proposes that ACPS promotes equity throughout the system by ensuring that five key elements are in place: systemic coherence, instructional excellence, student accessibility and supports, strategic resource allocation, and parent and community engagement.

Background:
|
FourPoint conducted a needs assessment consisting of extant data and document analysis, 175 classroom walk-throughs, 15 focus groups with 105 participants, 6 focus groups with 38 secondary students, and interviews with school leaders, division leaders, and city officials, to inform the strategic planning process. Intentional outreach efforts were made in seeking diverse perspectives, especially from historically underrepresented groups. The needs assessment examined six domains: finance, governance, school improvement, instructional delivery, college, career, and life readiness, and community voice. Preliminary findings were discussed with the Strategic Planning Committee on October 23rd and provided to the Board on October 25, 2019. The final needs assessment report, Preparing for Strategic Planning: Engaging the Community and Assessing the Needs of Alexandria City Public Schools, provides additional details behind the findings.
