UPDATES THIS WEEK:
Facilities Utilization
OUSD 2017-18 Facility Utilization Estimator Sheets have been generated and distributed to principals
Tool is used to begin assessing possible space for new, expanding and relocating programs. It is understood that all schools in some way use ALL of their available space. The Estimator is a tool to nonetheless maximize the efficient use of facilities.
Expectation is that the Estimator Sheets are shared with ILT to bring awareness to the tool.
PLEASE REVIEW...
SPF Tiering
As part of our Soft Roll-out regarding Defined Autonomies, we have established a 2016-17 Tiering of schools. The Tiering is based on a focus of Academic Growth.
Purpose:
- Reinforce expectations that specific schools prioritize their resources for certain improvements
- Guide prioritizing central investments & supports
- Identify schools who may be eligible (with Strong school site governance) for access to increased autonomies
