THANK YOU TO MARIBELLE PARDO, LUIS LIZ, ANGELO LEDDA, TED HUSTED, JOY SMITH AND ANNA GIORDANO It was wonderful seeing you all at the Welcome Back meeting on Wednesday. I especially want to thank our leaders who presented and shared their work. The feedback was great. Your exit slips also provided us with a framework for future group learnings.
I also want to thank our Phase 1 attorney, Chris Imperioli and Deborah Bochbot, the supervisor of Speech for taking the time and coming to meet with you on Wednesday.

"Once change is underway and the excitement associated with the launch is past, maybe some early wins have been achieved, but how do you keep the effort moving…sustain peoples’ enthusiasm, and deal effectively with blocks, hindrances, and resistance?" W. Warner Burke Children First Network (CFN) is an initiative designed to integrate operational and instructional support for schools. The goal is to expand the philosophy of empowering as much decision-making power as possible to the people who know schools best: principals, teachers and school staff. Each CFN network employs a 13-person, cross-functional team directly accountable to principals that delivers personalized service to 30 schools. The ultimate goal is to streamline operations and build capacity within schools so school-based staff can focus their time on instruction and accelerate achievement.
Our Shared Vision
• Student Achievement - Address achievement gap via assessment data & inquiry work
• Youth Development - Strengthen school/home connection via PCs and GCs
• Strategic Operations - Synthesize strategic planning with instructional goals
• Capacity and Sustainability - Identify and develop leaders internally in schools - Empower leaders on all levels in their expertise
