As the District continues to work to develop a feasible rightsizing plan to strengthen educational opportunities and optimize resources, a key role will be played by the Superintendent’s Advisory Steering Committee, which this week met for the first time.
This Committee, composed of various D60 staff and community stakeholders, is tasked with finalizing rightsizing recommendations from the input and ideas gathered during a series of community open forums. The goal is to develop three comprehensive potential rightsizing recommendations for final consideration by community stakeholders in the fall.
A list of all committee members and their schedule has been posted to the D60 Rightsizing website.
