Dear Parents, Guardians, Caregivers, and Educators,
This spring the district will be creating a new three year Student Opportunity Act plan. As a part of this process we are hoping to engage all stakeholders and seek feedback to inform our plan.
From the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education:
The Student Opportunity Act (Chapter 132 of the Acts of 2019) ushered in a new phase in the Commonwealth's commitment to ensuring that every student in the state experiences high-quality learning opportunities that lead to success in school and in postsecondary success.
Overall, Massachusetts leads the nation on many measures of student learning experiences, student achievement, and postsecondary success for its students. However, a closer look reveals inequitable gaps in experiences and outcomes across racial and ethnic groups, in economically disadvantaged communities compared to higher income communities, for students with disabilities relative to their non-disabled peers, and for English learners compared to students whose first language is English.
In order to provide us with feedback, please begin by reviewing the following:
- Our District's Strategic Plan NRPS 2025
- The Current Student Opportunity Act Plan for North Reading
- This tool for analyzing Student Outcomes
We then invite all parents, guardians, caregivers, and educators to complete this feedback survey no later than Wednesday, March 20, 2024.
During this collection window there will be two opportunities for a virtual overview on the Student Opportunity Act and the process for collecting feedback:
Morning: Monday, March 11, 2024 (jointly with Superintendent's Parent Advisory Council)
Evening: Monday, March 18, 2024 6:30 p.m.
We thank you in advance for your support of our schools and the time to take our survey and provide us with your feedback, insights, and recommendations.
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Daly
