Agenda

Please review notes from last week's meeting.

1. Incentive Discussion: Teacher input from 10-24 2. Discuss actual intervention--finalize list: What does the list of Es look like? Realistic with 1 E or 2 Es? 3. PLAN/ACT data and bottom 30% discussion--who, what, where, when? 4. 31A options? 5. Other

Notes from 10-25:

1. We need to notify teachers of any period they have not reported attendance and how we can notify teachers of errors in reporting.
 * Send Collection Status and Master Absence List Reports every day to all staff

2. We have identified check points throughout the school year that coincides with the research. Is it acceptable to make contact with student about 5-10-15 day absences at those times? If not can we consider a 5 or more absence robo-call?

3. We want to address students who are "barely" failing 50-59% with little absences, and few missing assignments first. We want to develop a systematic program for them-first. Much more to address…we know. 4. Still on the docket: PLAN data, kids who are not barely failing and define who they are and their interventions 5. Incentives from teachers and kids: We need Student Issues to do Student Birthday Announcements and acknowledgements
 * Check point 1: Prog Rep 1--any student who meets above criteria-meet with counselor and discusses issues/problems, etc. The student will be given an Action Plan: will send shortly

 * Check point 2: end of Quarter 1--meet with students identified at check point 1 and any new students who have came on radar-if student is no longer failing, KUDOS!
