RESPONSE REQUESTED: Development of Medway’s 3-year Student Opportunity Act Plan (Supporting Learning in Mathematics).
Medway Public Schools is developing a plan to submit to the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education called a Student Opportunity Act (SOA) Plan. This is a 3-year plan that is intended to focus on a subset of the district’s overall initiatives. Each district’s plan should include identifying evidence-based programs and strategies that will improve students' educational experiences and outcomes, including English learners, students with disabilities, and low-income students.
Based on an analysis of student outcomes and feedback from families, school leaders, and faculty and staff, Medway’s SOA Plan for 2024-2027 will focus on enhancing our practices around mathematics education. To finalize this plan, we are reaching out to seek your feedback to shape it.
Thank you for participating in this brief survey by March 1. We will be sharing the DRAFT SOA Plan with School Councils, the Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC), and the Medway School Committee throughout March and submitting our final plan to the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education by April 1, 2024, per requirement.
The link to the survey can be found here: https://bit.ly/3SYIQod. Deadline is March 1, 2024.
