Giunta describes DOE's internal and community feedback process for policy development
Giunta describes DOE's internal conversations with pedagogical and computer science teams, feedback from advocates and council members, and plans to use the Technology in Schools Coalition for more formalized stakeholder engagement going forward.
I think in your testimony you spoke broadly about the community feedback, but what was the DOE's equivalent process for coming up with these 30 and 45 minute recommendations?
Who specifically was consulted?
We started our conversations internally with our pedagogical teams, with our folks leading our computer science teams, our digital learning teams.
We took feedback as we met with different advocates, inclusive of some of the recommendations from this council when we met with you and certainly Councilmember Carmen De La Rosa's work.
You know, not in complete alignment, but, you know, that feedback served how we arrived at our minutes.
And we will be using our technology and schools coalition in a very strategic way.
So as we get ready to see, like, the impact of this policy and where this policy evolves to for the following year, that will be more of a formalized structure with very localized representation from the state.
