Sharon Plan to End Advanced Classes
Overview

Response
High School ELA Agenda & Meeting Notes
Request 1
This is a new public records request for those documents.
1. Defining Honors at SHS survey sent out by Emily Burke: both the survey and the answers.
2. The WL Running Doc referenced by Maureen Magnan in previous PR
3. Meeting invitations, agendas, minutes of all ELA department meetings Sept 2022 to present.
BTW - I would much prefer individual documents as separate attachments instead of one master file. Google docs can be downloaded as Microsoft docx, Google Sheets as Microsoft xlsx, Google Slides as Microsoft pptx, and AGoogle Forms as a PDF.
