king lot onto the main campus

NITORING
• Data pulled from the Aeries database each semester at the 10, 15, and 20 w
eeks.
• Data is pulled by object code. The district uses consistent coding. • T he Superintendent’s cabinet reviews data to ensure proper handling • Data is sent to the board to ensure transparency
• The monitoring and assessing the data ensures consistent handling and gives us a benchmark on what is happening at each school site.
DISCUSSION
• Continued efforts with Raptor
• Continued efforts to build a student culture for
w
earing lanyards
• Logistically, it “may” be easier to have two entry points at
Burroughs as the main entrance is physically narrow
