2023-2024 District Goals

The Board is responsible for establishing educational goals which will guide both the Board and staff in working together toward the continuing improvement of our educational program. As a Board we have established District Goals to:
 

1. Grow student achievement through the use of high leverage instructional and engagement strategies to raise rigor, disrupt systems of racism and generate equitable outcomes for all students while eliminating opportunity and achievement gaps.
2. Effectively use systems of professional growth, assessment for learning, social-emotional learning, equitable and inclusive practices to build competence, confidence and self-efficacy for every student.
3. Operate in an accessible and transparent manner to encourage and generate community involvement as our parents, students and community partners are an integral and valued voice in our District.
4. Be responsive to community growth and student learning needs of the future by conducting long-range capital improvements and financial planning through processes and practices for long-term financial stability and sustainability.
