Staff to draft user-friendly version of District Improvement Plan if administrator approves
Summary
Participants discussed producing a designed, more consumable version of the District Improvement Plan with jump links and a short intro while preserving the full plan online; John will be asked to approve the formatted summary before staff proceeds.
At a May 28 planning meeting for Marblehead Public Schools, two participants discussed creating a user-friendly, designed summary of the District Improvement Plan (DIP) to help families find school- or section-specific material more easily.
The Chair said the DIP should be included in the newsletter as a high-level overview and that staff would check whether the plan is posted on the website. The staff member proposed producing a brief designed version — an introductory few pages with jump links to school-specific sections and a link to the complete plan — to improve accessibility for community members who do not attend meetings.
Staff said John expressed some hesitation about formatting the plan in a stylized version, and participants agreed to show him an example before proceeding. "Ultimately it's his plan," the staff member said, and they agreed to proceed only with John's approval. If John agrees, staff will draft the formatted summary and schedule a short follow-up meeting to review it.
The discussion also referenced the district's interest in public-facing summaries for easier distribution and noted that any user-friendly version would link to the full DIP to avoid obscuring the plan's full text.
Next steps: staff will contact John for permission, prepare a draft formatted summary if approved, and hold a brief follow-up meeting to review the proposed format.
