The Climate Framework process for developing belief statements is outlined. Steering Committee invitations have been sent and outreach to task force members, schools, and departments will begin. Principals will receive information via their daily News and Notes update.

Steering Committee Members will include representatives from:

• Senior District Leadership

• MFT and ESP, AFSCME, AMP, Teamsters, SEIU, Principal's Forum

• Citywide Youth Leadership Board Chair

• Student School Board Representative

• Chairs of our Parent Action Committees

• World's Best Workforce Chair

• Member of the EDIA Committee

We are in the process of planning the invitations to the Steering Committee Members who will serve monthly as the oversight group in this process. We are also preparing to make the form for Task Force consideration public.

Due to the COVID-19 closure, March has been laser focused on getting distance learning set up for our students. While that has delayed the work currently, the Climate Framework is imperative to the changes we know we need in our climate as well as implementing the anticipated shifts of the CDD process.

We have been planning the structures to bring together voices for the steering committee and task forces. So far, we have been speaking with schools and departments, collecting the current climate practices that are succeeding around the district.
