December Update

From Rob Saxton

Rob Saxton Review Status Report: Nov. 19 - December 14, 2018

Date: December 14, 2018

From: Rob Saxton

Sent To: District Clerk – Robin Faye Lindeen Blakely, Michelle Vo & Board membership, Dr. Randy Trani and posted online on the IC3S website (https://sites.google.com/view/ic3s/home)

Since the November 19th update, I have been focused on the following work for the review:

        • Graph and chart comparisons in the state – some of the comparators include how districts spend money compared to other districts, size, and geographic regions.
        • Reviewing and compiling community responses from the community questionnaires.
        • Met with Dr. Trani on Monday, Dec. 10th with a follow up list of questions from our initial interview.
        • Met with two high school classes on Monday, Dec. 10th – a Spanish class and a Chemistry class – both classes were mostly juniors and seniors. I met with about 50 kids overall. For the first part of the conversation, I let them ask me questions and then disseminated a questionnaire for them to fill out. I was impressed by the thoughtfulness and thoroughness with which the students completed these questionnaires.
        • Attended the IC3S group meeting on Monday, Dec. 10th, and shared an update on the status of my work.
        • I still need to complete interviews with Corbett school board members.

By mid-week next week, I plan to go through all I have collected and make sure I’ve gathered all the data and information I need to begin the writing process.

I am on schedule to deliver my report by February 15, 2019.
