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.
