    5.1 Superintendent Meeting Notes
    Bill Kovach

    -The superintendents all acknowledged that their school districts implement some form of PLCs.  

    -They were also interested in assisting Central Nine in understanding rationale behind why some students have elected not to continue their pursuit in a program.  Once students leave others who might have been on a waiting list should get a chance to replace them within a certain time frame.  In addition, promoting students to come to Central Nine is no longer an issue based on the graduation pathways.  Helping students find the right path and the right program is more important so they come and stay in the program of their choice.  All counselors and school officials will be involved in this process.

    -Central Nine is working on adjusting its approach to promoting programs and lining up students with desired offerings and choices.
