Report submitted by ESAC co-chairs: Karen Kreienbrink and David Abrams:
Educational Services Advisory Committee (ESAC) meetings begin with an approval of previous meeting minutes and member reports. In an effort to provide advice, direction and support to the Hopkins School District, agenda topics for each meeting include an overview of the topic which evolves into an opportunity for large and small group question and discussion. This discussion provides advice and recommendation to subject under review. Subjects presented in 2010-2011 are listed below.

ESAC focused on 2009-2010 assessment through presentations summarizing results from the assessment workshop, as well as reviewing MCA/GRAD, YLCT and MAP test results. The District Equity Framework Initiative, Data Retreat and QComp Goals were explained with a summary of Staff Development/Mentorship efforts. The Committee enjoyed a "live" white board presentation revealing District Technology Integration and Standards with a 21st Century Learning emphasis.
