Council adopts '5 Year Plan: Year 1' after discussion and public comment
Summary
After presentations and a Q&A on baselines, data and equity, the council moved and seconded adoption of the '5 Year Plan: Year 1.' A brief public comment was heard and a voice vote was called; the chair announced the motion passed and the plan was adopted.
Following presentations from Dr. Epstein and Deputy Superintendent Myung Lee on the '5 Year Plan: Year 1' (a planning-focused version of the charter-required five‑year plan), the council discussed the contents, including the plan’s emphasis on process, working groups, and the need to develop baselines and disaggregated targets in future work.
Council members raised concerns about baseline data availability, how population‑level indicators relate to frontline practice and how to set disaggregated targets without inflaming controversy. Staff and members discussed possible data‑collection methods, RFP or grant reporting changes to require partner reporting, and the use of equity lenses including targeted universalism.
A member moved to adopt the plan; Phil Halperin was identified as the mover and Kevin Truitt as the seconder when the motion was called. Public comment followed: Kiara, representing the Young Women Freedom Center, urged staff to use clearer, non‑confusing language when presenting the plan to community members.
The council then proceeded to a voice vote. The chair recorded 'Aye' and asked for opposed; none were voiced and the chair announced, "We've adopted the plan. The motion is passed." No roll-call tally was recorded on the record in the transcript.
Next steps noted by staff include forming the five goal-area working groups, conducting a landscape analysis in year 1, publishing an annual progress report and developing baselines, targets and implementation steps for later versions of the plan.
