Collaborative Partner Meeting Registration 2024-2025
Greetings, colleagues. Welcome back to another school year of supporting our schools and districts. We hope you had a relaxing summer and are re-energized for another year of work.
You are receiving this message because you previously attended a meeting of the Collaborative Partners. The purpose of the Collaborative Partner meetings is to ensure collaboration, communication, and coordination among stakeholders to maximize equitable supports for districts and schools identified for additional supports. If you are no longer in that role, please forward this information to anyone in your organization who might be.
We will be meeting three times this school year:
Tuesday, September 17 Virtual from 9:00-11:00 am Registration Link
Tuesday, February 18 Virtual from 9:00 - 11:00 am Registration Link
May**
**May’s date is currently held for Thursday, May 15, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. We hope to offer a hybrid option and are looking for available venues.
You’ll note that our September 17 meeting is coming up in just a few weeks. Please register at the link above. We will be sending the Zoom link to those who register.
Based on the survey from last spring, our agenda will include updates from our partners, including the MDE Offices of Educational Supports and Partnership Districts, the Statewide Field Team, and Basis Policy Research. If you have questions that you would like representatives from these offices/organizations to answer, please submit them via this question document by Wednesday, September 11. You will also have an opportunity to participate in conversation groups with MDE unit representatives around the topics of Cyber/Virtual Schools, Alternative Education Schools, and EWIMS.
Feel free to contact me with any questions. We look forward to another year of collaboratively serving our districts.
