updated measure for details.

or upgrading existing buildings, you must submit an updated Certificate
of Occupancy. If you have not received the Educational Certificate of Occupancy, you may not use that space for students. Additionally, if this change results in a change of address, you will need to
update EDDIE accordingly.

 Multi-Tiered System of Support - Thank You to Project Participants
The Charter Collaborative Workgroup extends sincere appreciation to the following schools who are not only involved in the intense work of installation, but have shared their implementation stories for the benefit of others.
These schools participated in a “Voices in the Field” project where various team members including Principals, Social Workers and teachers were video recorded while reflecting on MTSS Cohort involvement.
The intent of the project is to provide actual examples of the critical components of an MTSS. The video footage will be used in upcoming MTSS communication and professional development with a primary focus on supporting those teams not currently involved in an MTSS Cohort. Thank you to these schools for their valued contributions:
- Francine Delany New School for Children
The first video, focused on development of a “compelling why” will be included in next week's listserv message. For additional information on MTSS, please access the archived listserv messages on the MTSS wiki or contact Amy Jablonski, Director, Integrated Academic and Behavior Systems(IABS).
