Regional Development of 53206 Update 1.pdf
Background: To better serve the 53206 community, the Board approved implementation of the 53206 Initiative. The Principal's Cohort consisting of nine school leaders from North Division, Andrew Douglas, Auer Avenue, Benjamin Franklin, Hopkins-Lloyd, Green Bay, Gwen T. Jackson, Keefe Avenue, and Lafollette, have met regularly to further discuss the needs in 53206.

The principal’s cohort has moved forward with school reconfigurations that are necessary as we begin the planning stages for the 2019-2020 school year. School teams were involved in extensive conversations around expanding the current educational programming offered at their schools as well as new and innovative programs that will attract new families to the reimagined site. In most of the 53206 school buildings, we have begun to address remodeling ventures and space utilization. Our work and efforts in the 53206 Initiative are to target our most disadvantaged population of students while building a firm foundation for academic success during their primary educational years that will ultimately lead to a successful high school experience.

The attached update provides an overview of the progress that has been made, alignment to the Five Priorities for Success, as well as next steps to move the 53206 Initiative forward.
