Creation of 2016-2017 Southwest Community Partnership School Transition Team
Southwest High School is in the process of making a dynamic advancement in its commitment to
excellence in education for all students. As a Community Partnership School (CPS) Southwest has the opportunity to set a vision, proceed on a self-defined course of action, and take responsibility for the educational achievement of all its students.
To successfully move from what has been to what will be, it is necessary to involve important
stakeholders to ensure that Southwest is honoring the past, recognizing the challenges and planning for the future.
To facilitate this change we are creating a Transition Team. This team will review all existing structures and organizations, identify issues and opportunities and create a vision for the future, establish policy making structures and determine operational objectives. The current organizational and governance structures in place will continue to operate during the 2016-2017 school year.
The Transition Team must be reflective of school enrollment and representative of the programs and
structures in the school and its community. The Transition Team will be comprised of:
- 17 members
- 7 licnsed staff
- 2 full-time non-licensed staff
- 4 parents
- 3 students
- 1 administrator
- Support by an outside consultant and district liaison
The Transition Team will be formed no later than May 15, 2016 and will begin meeting immediately and throughout the summer at mutually agreed-upon dates. The team will conclude its role and
responsibilities by February 2017.
The process for selection to the Transition Team will begin as soon as possible and include:
• Vote of the licensed staff
• Vote of the non-licensed staff
• Application by interested parents and students, assignment by principal
If interested in applying to be on the Transition Team, please inform Dr. Smith (email or in writing)
before 3 p.m. on Wednesday, May 4, 2016.
