Agenda Metro Schools ReimaginED Cluster Opportunities Community/Family Engagement Q & A
Academic Programming Metro Schools ReimaginED Learning Environments
Assessed the short- and long-term needs of neighborhoods, students, and families Considered big-picture issues, including: student achievement, staffing building use, and the ongoing maintenance and renovation needs of the district s properties Supported the belief that more students in a building makes it possible to leverage more resources https://www.mnps.org/next
Metro Schools ReimaginED Vision To reimagine the ways in which MNPS provides equitable educational opportunities for ALL students in identified clusters through a synthesis of in-depth academic data dives, community input and feedback, and research about how to best support students and communities
ReimaginED Learning Environments - Consolidation Scenarios Pearl-Cohn Cluster Consolidate Buena Vista ES and Jones Paideia Magnet Whites Creek Cluster Consolidate Haynes MS and Joelton MS Consolidate Robert Lillard ES into Alex Green ES and Cumberland ES Closure of Cohn Learning Center Students return to zoned schools District maintains space
The Why Student academic success rates Teacher retention/recruitment Mobility rates Decreased enrollment Culture and climate Limited supports and services
Uniform strategies across clusters Unified, collective cluster leadership structure Intensive, ongoing PD classroom management and de-escalation strategies PreK/K-5, 6-8, 9- 12 school model Tech use for better student supports Post-secondary opportunities and transition supports Community Achieves supports Elementary Middle High Consistent instructional support for literacy Cluster support network of internal and external leaders Community partnerships for personalized literacy Wrap-around social- emotional learning supports Mentors for teachers and principals

Maplewood, Pearl-Cohn, Whites Creek Hillwood, Stratford, Hunters Lane Antioch, Cane Ridge, Glencliff Overton, Hillsboro, McGavock Magnets, Alternative Learning Centers, Non-traditionals
ReimaginED Cluster Plans We recommend that the Maplewood feeder pattern be established as a unified branded AVID-programmed cluster with an emphasis on advanced academics and STEAM. We recommend the creation of a unified Music City Arts and Health Sciences Cluster with an emphasis on advanced academics. We recommend the establishment of the Whites Creek Early College/STEAM Academic Cluster where students can earn dual credits and graduate with a high-school diploma and an Associate s degree.
