Second Reading Authored by Mr. Ralph "Rem" Brandt:

• Move that the Jefferson Parish Administration work with this Board to develop a new 5 Year Strategic Plan for the Jefferson Parish Public School System. Based on lessons learned from the pandemic, the plan should prioritize the following: Early Childhood Education, Literacy, Learning Loss, Social/Emotional Learning, Technology Integration, Increased Opportunities for Magnet Program. This plan will utilize "SMART" goals and will be revisited if the state's accountability system is changed. This new Strategic Plan will replace "2024 The Future Our Kids Deserve." And is to be presented to the Board at the May 2023 meeting.
