FAQ

I hope that you had an opportunity to read the FAQ email that I sent out yesterday evening. Although, I didn’t have the answers to all the questions, I wanted to address them so everyone can know where we stand with some of the most frequently asked questions. Below is additional information for staff.

Additional Information

• NWEA

o   NHA is reaching out to authorizers to get their guidance on spring NWEA testing and its impact on charter contracts and goals. NHA got confirmation from CMU and NMU that they are not requiring their schools to administer the spring NWEA test. NHA is still waiting to hear from Bay Mills, our authorizer. I will keep you posted once we get a response.

·      Possible Prolonged Closure

o   According to NHA, "…there are questions about what prolonged closure means to academic progress and even the school calendar. We are thinking through several possible outcomes by continuing to connect with local and state government authorities to develop solutions for potential scenarios."

·      NHA's Daily Meetings

o   NHA conducts a daily meeting at 1:00 p.m. between the Executive Team (CEO, CFO, etc.), DSQs, People Services, Communication, Accounting, Curriculum & Instruction, Facilities, Food Services, etc. to discuss the everchanging educational topics to develop solutions and provide answers that help us better serve our school communities. I will continue to share approved and relevant information with our team in my blog.

Please do not hesitate to speak with your dean during your grade level/PLC meeting this week if you still have lingering questions. They may not have the answers, but we do discuss your concerns as an admin team.
