Agenda Item Summary:
This Board Brief contains information pertaining to the division’s strategic response to the closure of school through summer 2020. The brief includes a systems-level view of how the division will reach the overall goal as well as the system of measurement that will inform organizational learning and improvements throughout the process.  
Background:
The evolving COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent school closures demanded a need to rapidly and strategically pivot as an organization. Change management requires a myriad of strategies across organizational areas. Paramount within the change process are: the need to set a clear goal for all to work towards, explicitly identify how the organization will reach this goal, and build a formative measurement system to continuously gauge progress allowing continuous learning and organizational improvement. To ensure ACPS is meeting these requirements staff have collaboratively developed a working theory of action and an accompanying system of measurement to align the work of the organization and best allow rapid learning and continuous improvements.  
Recommendation
The Superintendent recommends that the School Board review this Board Brief and attachment for an understanding of the COVID-19 Response Theory of Action and system of measurement.
