Decision Sheets

All meetings that take place must be memorialized with a “decision sheet”.
 
A copy of the “decision sheet” must be placed in Demetri’s box by the end of each week, including an electronic copy to Dnicolo@schools.nyc.gov 
 
It is part of all staff’s (not only teachers’) professional responsibility to make sure whatever meetings are held have a record that delineates an action plan.
