Spotlight Reports
The Stoplight Report is a way to communicate in writing how the ideas and concerns that come from projects, team meetings, employee 1:1s, huddles or even student 1:1s will be tackled. Green Light items are things that have been addressed and are complete. Yellow Light items are things in progress. Red Light items are those issues or ideas that cannot be done with the reason why.
