"We don't want to sacrifice sustainability for speed."
This will be the reasoning behind the newest plan to phase in School Advisory Councils in more schools in the District, according to the official charged with coordinating that effort.
Karren Dunkley, chief deputy of the District's Office of Parent, Family, Community Engagement and Faith-Based Partnerships, said on Monday that the District would soon develop a proposal to launch SACs in the 115 lowest-performing schools.
Dunkley said that she and Acting Superintendent Leroy Nunery had met with members of the SAC working group on Friday and that "Dr. Nunery said he would be very open to us presenting a phase-in plan."
She said the plan would probably be drawn up after a SAC Summit at Fels High
