Year-End Status: Decision Resources will present the Districtwide parent survey results at a Board workshop on April 14, 2016, and again at a regular Board meeting on April 21, 2016. This data gathered from random District parents will focus on their level of satisfaction with current programming, as well as feedback surrounding particular programs (e.g., secondary schedules, year-round schooling, etc.).

Hopkins media centers continue to update and accommodate the spaces in which students learn. The Board visited these some of these spaces during building tours in September.

Year-End Status: In early March, District administration, Board members, and professional staff

attended a workshop focused on redesigning learning spaces in schools. Plans are being made to begin this work on a small scale, using current capital dollars. Media Centers will be the initial focus of this work. The Superintendent has initiated a process for space redesign, requiring staff and students participate in a collaborative effort to make any change to any space. This work must be completed within current capital budget parameters.

√ Examine the implications for changing District start times.

Midyear Status: The Administration will bring forward start time options and costs associated with each option. This will also be measured in the survey conducted by Decision Resources.
