WPEF July 3 Meeting: School Summit

Town meets gown! Our annual summit of school leaders will reach new heights because of the enormous progress that has been made in our family of schools over the past year. It’s time to share information and assess our needs and successes -- no more working in isolation! In addition to parent, faculty, and administrative leaders from the schools’ Autonomy Exploratory Commitees and Transition Teams, representatives from LMU will join us as we discuss what progress we’ve made and where we go next. We’re inviting community leaders and representatives from community groups such as Neighborhood Council, Rotary, Chamber of Commerce, foundations, and more.

Topics to be considered:
1. The proposed MOU (attached) between LMU and LAUSD. Does it meet our needs, are there things we’d like to see included? In particular, what is the role of proposed staff, and are there positions (such as a fundraiser for our schools) that might be more critical to our success?
2. Shouldn’t there be an MOU between LAUSD and our local I-Division schools?
3. What governance models are being considered?
4. What is Mr. Rochelle’s new role, and how do we help define it?
5. What is our relationship (if any) with new I-Division staff and Local District 3?
6. How do we include community members in the transition and governance at our schools?
7. How can community groups partner with schools – either as a family or individual schools?

These topics are meant to provoke! Please let us know if you can attend and what your affiliation is, and what you’d like to see discussed at the meeting. Fasten your seat belts, we’re likely to have a bumpy night!
