12. DELIBERATED ITEMS/DISTRICT LEADERSHIP TEAM REPORTS
Subject:
12.1. Presentation of Bristol Student Performance on 2022 Smarter Balanced Assessment
Rationale:

Students in grades three through eight participated in the Smarter Balanced Assessment in the Spring of 2022.  Students’ achievement and growth in literacy and mathematics were assessed.  A report showing that Bristol’s growth is higher than ever before for both literacy and math will be shared.  Additionally, Bristol’s learning loss as a result of the pandemic is less than all of Bristol’s surrounding communities and will be shown through this review of Smarter Balanced performance.
Subject:
12.2. Discussion and a possible vote of the tentative agreement between the Bristol Association of Principals and Supervisors (BAPS) and the Board of Education for a 2023-2026 contract.
Subject:
12.3. Participation in Cooperative Hockey Program
Rationale:

Bristol Public Schools was invited to participate in a cooperative hockey team, hosted by Rocky Hill Public Schools in mid-September.  Cooperative athletic teams must be approved by each Board of Education, the Central Connecticut Conference (CCC), and the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC).  These cooperative teams allow school districts to combine to offer a team sport when one district alone can not support a full team.  The current cooperative team hosted by Rocky Hill was approved for the 2022-2023 school year by the CCC and CIAC; Bristol will be one of many towns to be part of the Rocky Hill team if the Bristol Board of Education approves our participation.  If Bristol were to participate, Bristol hockey student-athletes would need to pay a $1,400 fee to Rocky Hill and provide their own transportation to practice held in the early morning hours.  Rocky Hill as the host school will be responsible for all day-to-day operations of the programs including scheduling the games, ice time, and event management.
