Chair Lee on including teachers in tool evaluation
Lee urges that cost savings discussions include teachers and principals who actually use the tools. The Chancellor agrees and Scott confirms the next step in procurement reform is engaging school leaders about quality and service levels.
So again, we're having discussions to really think about what's the best way forward.
I hope, I'm going to assume you do, but I hope that these discussions you have with the cost savings team include teachers, include discussions with teachers and principals who are the ones actually using the tools.
You know, it's one thing to sit in an office and look at a spreadsheet and look at the one pager as to what, you know, different contracts do.
It's another thing to go into the school and know what's actually happening in the classroom.
Absolutely.
I'm going to chime in.
So as the Chancellor stated, we're having conversations with different program offices, specifically school-facing team.
And we did a preliminary review of their contracts, and now the next step in that process will be for them to engage with school leaders and teachers to
have those conversations about quality and service levels.
Good.
And you know me, I think evaluating all of your tools is very important.
Evaluating your curricula, very important.
Evaluating everything is very important.
