Summary

Committee member Ben recommended prioritizing a concise set of recommendations ("no more than 5") and said the committee should evaluate DCPS, WTU, PCSB and charter LEAs for capacity to implement proposals; Ben volunteered to work with staff on prioritization.

Ben, a committee member, cautioned that the commissioned report contains an exhaustive list of recommendations and urged the committee to limit its initial asks to a concise set so they are actionable. He suggested picking "no more than 5" top priorities to present to agencies and the board.

Ben recommended the committee assess the implementation capacity of potential partners — including District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS), the WTU and PCSB and charter LEAs — so the committee can tailor recommendations to what agencies can realistically accomplish. The Chair asked Ben to share his top three to five priorities with Jen; Ben agreed and committed to scheduling time to review the draft recommendations with staff.
