 Deciding on requirements with council
The council used National requirements and used requirements given us from
another Chesterfield county elementary schools to help guide our decision on
areas for our rubric to gain points and narrow nominations.

Using this we decided upon a points system and created a Google form for
teachers to fill out that would collect data for us.
