Hello D20 Community,
CEC 20 held its monthly meeting last night at the District 20 Office. We want to express our appreciation to all the attendees, both virtual and in-person, for your active participation and contributions! Notable topics discussed at our meeting include -
Presentation from Office of District Planning (ODP)
CEC 20 was fortunate to have members from the Office of District Planning join us to provide an annual overview. Every year, ODP shares and reviews district planning information with each CEC to identify key planning needs and priorities. Noteworthy points include, enrollment decline of 10% in District 20 schools, over-utilized school buildings, the opening of 4 new school buildings that will add 1,500 seats in District 20, discussions regarding the steps to address over-utilization, and more!
Report of Superintendent Pretto
Dr. Pretto introduced the District 20 Newsletter, a new means to communicate with the community and to highlight the work being done in District 20. Dr. Pretto also discussed the prioritization of Chancellors Priority 2 - All Students Will Be Physically and Emotionally Safe for the 2024-25 School Year. An action plan will be presented on in a future meeting once it is finalized. Discussions were held around Summer Rising, Safety Plans, funding for the afterschool program NIA, and initiatives to bring students, staff, and parents from all schools together to engage in culture education and celebration.
