Based upon your participation in the activity at the annual HSGI meeting in November, the following topics below were identified as prioritized supportive school discipline related

TA needs.

Supportive

• Alternatives to out-of-school suspensions

• Promoting persistence and resiliency once students have reconnected

• Truancy prevention and intervention

• Family engagement

• Critical transitions (e.g., 8th to 9th grade, 9th to 10th grade)

The current plan is to hold bimonthly HSGI community calls focused on identified supportive school discipline related TA priorities. Please provide us your preferences for the format and schedule of the bimonthly calls.

12. What is your preferred HSGI community calls format? Please chose one.

• Each community call focuses on a different topic with presentations from experts, quest speakers and/or practitioners, and includes group discussions, best practices/strategies sharing, etc.

• Community calls focus on one or two overarching topics, diving deeper into these topics over the course of 3-4 calls.

• Community calls focus on a specific project centered on an identified area of need/interest with strategic updates during each call.

• I do not have a preference for the community calls format.

13. Given that we have colleagues from across the country, the 60-90 minute bimonthly community calls will have to take place during the afternoon Eastern Standard Time (i.e., starting between 1-3PM ET/10 AM – 12 PM PT). In light of this fact, what days of the week absolutely would NOT work for you and/or your immediate colleagues?

• Mondays

• Tuesdays

• Wednesdays

• Thursdays

• Fridays

• Any day of the week could work for us

14. Is there anything else you would like us to know as we plan future activities?
