priorities document, a collective effort with contributions from the Washington State system of CTCs' Educational Technology Advisory Group. This document outlines our key performance priorities, which we aim to discuss and address together with Instructure.
These priorities represent a strategic endeavor to ensure our partnership robustly supports the diverse needs of our educational community, using benchmarks as tools for ongoing, constructive communication.</span></p>

within the WA CTC system and from four-year institutions that leverage the SBCTC contract for their renewal processes. These concerns centered around the proposed 10% increase in cost per FTE, highlighting apprehensions regarding fiscal sustainability. I am
grateful for Instructure's openness to revisiting these figures with the relevant decision-makers within their organization. For reference, I have attached the initial proposed contract.</span></p>

this month, it presents a prime opportunity to delve deeper into our performance priorities. I am also considering a hybrid meeting format to ensure inclusive participation from ETAG members who cannot attend in person.
<u>Should we opt for a hybrid meeting, I suggest scheduling it during the social hour on the first day of the conference to minimize conflicts with session attendance.</u> I've included a<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pATIi48XnPhWTekjiBRXtLAIlPzXBcuzG01DnrUhkug/edit#heading=h.nald44ou7xq4" id="OWA06cf34b9-4aae-34ba-0fd3-8c5a1755e754" class="x_x_x_OWAAutoLink" title="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pATIi48XnPhWTekjiBRXtLAIlPzXBcuzG01DnrUhkug/edit#heading=h.nald44ou7xq4" data-loopstyle="linkonly" data-auth="NotApplicable" style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px"> link
