She made two proposals on how to prioritize the ideas created from the retreat. 1) We prioritize the ideas within each sheet under the Student Success heading; 2) We prioritize the entire collection of ideas as a whole using dots and the yellow papers on the board. The Council agreed to do the exercise as a group. Each member was given 5 dots to identify what they felt was most valuable and easy to implement. After the exercise was complete, there were 3 top ideas with a count of 9 votes each. These ideas were from sections 3.4, 2.3, and 8.1.
