Quick Summary / Abstract
Approve revisions to Policy 6000.1:  Student Progression Plan, at this First Reading.

The District Policy 6000.1 Work Group convened subcommittees to address issues and formulate proposed changes to the District Student Progression Plan for 2013-14.  A broad representation of District and school-based staff, along with parents and students participated on the following subcommittees: Elementary Items, Middle School Items, High School Items, and General Progression Items.  Participants in the vetting process included District Administrative staff, elementary school principals, middle school principals, high school principals, District Advisory Council, ESE Advisory Council, ESOL Leadership Council, and Office of School Accountability and Performance staff.  Following the vetting process, staff representing the Policy 6000.1 Work Group provided members with recommended changes at Board Workshops on February 12, 2013 and on May 14, 2013.  A public forum was held on April 24, 2013.  As a result of Board input, recommended changes are reflected in Policy 6000.1 revisions.  The Chart of Substantive Changes addresses all changes that are being recommended at this time.
