Summary

Felicita presented an assets-based redesign emphasizing global learning and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, described discovery classes and student ambassador programs, and said staff leadership teams will guide implementation tied to a five-year plan and Healthy Kids survey measures.

Felicita's redesign team said it is centering a global perspective and problem-based learning, noting a partnership with the California Global Education Project and use of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in class projects. Principal Stephanie Higginbotham said the school's mission is "empowering learners to solve real world problems that impact the global community," and presenters described pilot discovery classes and micro-school work that will expand into spring.

Felicita also described staff leadership teams and a five-year map to measure progress (internal surveys and the Healthy Kids survey were cited). Presenters said the redesign will roll out in stages and that community partnerships and student-led showcases will be part of the effort; trustees thanked the teams and invited a group photo.
