                            Russ Masco and Janine Theiler were available to discuss the communication model. How does this communication process become a two way process? How do we simplify the process? This process includes monthly talking points summary, burning questions noteworthy items, critical communications, and feedback survey responses. Future Ready/GEARS could be come a talking point of this document to continually update us. Committee would like this document to go to more than just the Administrators like Affiliate Chairs. Create a blog or something that people can communicate back and forth discussions. (ie: Slack) CCSI - Committee for the Coordination of Systemic Improvement - create a template for one plan for school improvement/simplifying the process/capacity building.
