1. 1. Begin writing TSSP and LAND Trust Plan for the upcoming year: Shawn summarized and discussed last year’s LAND Trust Plan. We are proceeding without end-of-year dta from last year due to Covid circumstances. Going forward, basing goals on beginning and mid-year data from last year.
      1. How do we want to adjust ELA and math goals? Currently, making consistent growth as a whole school.
         1. Strategies and action steps: After speaking with BLT, a goal of 75% of students will make academic growth using Pathways of Progress. Regarding our Math goal, we will improve our Math composite scores by 25% , as measured by Acadiance, from beginning of year to the end of year.  SCC approved and agreed to these goals.
         2. What expenditures are anticipated (PD, technology/resources, personnel)? It was discussed that our action steps would include continuing to focus on close reading, focusing on decreasing class size, continuing to provide interventionists, and possibly providing interventionists for Math as well. A focus on number talks will continue. 
      2. How do we want to adjust our school climate goals? SCC discussed our school wide goal to improve the general feelings of connectedness. A focus will be put on relationships and ensuring our students feel that they belong to the school. 
         1. Strategies and action steps: Data from the SEL small survey will be given to students again at the end of the year. We will assess data at that time.
