The evening began with an introduction to Arlington Connect and then Superintendent of Schools, Dr. David Moyer presented a State of Our Schools address. Please see below for the PowerPoint presentation slides and a video of the presentation. Following the presentation, attendees participated in a working session consisting of the following tasks. 

Task #1: Surprise and Concern: Based on the information you learned tonight, what is your group’s biggest surprise and concern about our school district?

Task #2: Key Questions

• Step 1: Keeping in mind the District’s vision, the charge from the Board of Education and the presentation this evening, what issues or topics would you like to explore further as we work toward creating our recommendations? What is important to discuss as we continue our Arlington Connect process?
• Step 2: Now, prioritize each of the topics as high, medium or low priority. Include only the issues that your group listed and generally agreed upon in completing Task #1.
• Step 3: Starting with your group's highest priority, what key questions or comments would your group like addressed in each area you have identified?
