The District's strategic plan is a pathway to successfully fulfill our promise to connect with, inspire and empower our students. We built this strategic plan to provide system coherence and focus our work on five critical student learning outcomes. This plan lays out our vision, strategies and measures by which we will attain these goals.
Our core component has four measurable goals that span from when our students first enter school to when they graduate:
Diverse Voices, Unified Direction
Our strategic plan was developed over several months in collaboration with our community, staff, students, and families to capture their vision, hopes, and dreams of what local public education should look like.
Ensuring academic growth through high expectations, rigor, essential standards, agency, and dignity as the drivers for academic success for each learner.
