MPIC members reported a follow-up meeting with school representatives that confirmed progress on many education-related master-plan items and identified areas that need more coordination.
"Judith and I had a chance to have a good conversation with Greg Martineau and Stephanie Reinhart about the school's stuff," Sam, an MPIC member, said. MPIC members said they will add more data from that meeting to the committee's tracker.
Committee members said the schools have made progress on ongoing activities such as programs for non-English speakers and expansion of services for students with special needs, but that coordination with other educational institutions and lifelong-learning initiatives lags behind other efforts. "They do seem to be making good progress in a variety of ways," Judith, an MPIC member, said.
MPIC said much of the schools' work is ongoing rather than a completed item on a checklist, and that the committee will continue to monitor progress and add tracker data from the meeting.
