Approval to appoint Council member Christi Gillespie to serve as an alternate to the Broken Arrow Public Schools’ Redefining Ready Planning Committee
End
Background:
“Redefining Ready!” is a national initiative launched by The School Superintendents Association (AASA) to introduce new research-based metrics to more appropriately assess which students are college ready, career ready and life ready.
Broken Arrow School Superintendent, Dr. Janet Dunlop, has asked the City Manager and one City Council member to participate in the Redefining Ready Planning Committee. This group will answer the following question, “What do we, as a community, want in a high school graduate?” The committee is tasked with creating a portrait of a high school graduate, which will include defining metrics and priorities for the Broken Arrow School District.
The committee will meet on the following dates: May 21 and May 30 (tentative, if needed).
On March 19, 2019, the Council approved the nomination of Councilor Mike Lester to serve on this committee. Councilor Debra Wimpee was named as alternate. Due to Mr. Lester no longer being a member of the Council, Ms. Wimpee became the City Council committee appointment.
The City Manager is requesting that the Council appoint Councilor Christi Gillespie as the new alternate.
