The focus included generating a list of issues that participants felt are most critical for Rochester City School District's (RCSD) students, parents, community members and educators.The group formulated a list of over twenty (20) issues, and agreed that it would focus on two (2) of the issues as a starting point. The two issues include addressing: 1) the RCSD's 'revolving door' suspension policy, and the lack of adequate alternatives to suspension; 2) the inconsiderate, disrespectful and unprofessional manner in which the Rochester Board of Education conducts its public meetings. Participants also identified the following as critical issues within the RCSD that need to be addressed. </font></div> <ul dir="ltr"> <li> <div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="justify"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Hypocritical environment: schools say one thing/do another</font></div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="justify"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Need for more African American teachers/administrators</font></div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="justify"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Feelings of hopelessness/helplessness on the part of students</font></div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="justify"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Individual and institutional racism</font></div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="justify"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Grade inflation/academic dishonesty</font></div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="justify"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Anti-intellectual culture</font></div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="justify"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Low expectations</font></div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="justify"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Social Promotion</font></div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="justify"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Lack of resistance on the part of leadership regarding state and federal mandates</font></div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="justify"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Appropriate placement of students</font></div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="justify"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Need for better trained teachers to work with special needs students instead of constant suspension</font></div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="justify"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Violence --- students and staff</font></div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="justify"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Inclusion --- possibilities for success don't match theory</font></div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="justify"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Circumstances block teaching and learning</font></div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="justify"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Class size</font></div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="justify"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Inappropriate/inadequate professional development</font></div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="justify"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Inadequate training/qualified administrators and teachers</font></div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="justify"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Liability vs. authority (for staff)</font></div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="justify"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">City's priorities (spending)</font></div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="justify"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Inequitable funding within the RCSD</font></div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="justify"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Lack of cleanliness in regard to health of students and staff</font></div> </li> <li> <div style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="justify"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Lack of discipline in schools  </font></div> </li> </ul> <div dir="ltr" style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" align="justify"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">Participants agreed to bring specific ideas to the next General Meeting (March 26th) relative to addressing the suspension issue in particular.
