- We will expand high‐quality work‐based learning experiences in high‐demand careers for all students, particularly traditionally underrepresented students.
- All of our buildings will implement a clearly articulated process for intervening and progress monitoring in math, literacy and SEL that utilizes data-based decisions and evidence-based practices/resources.
- Teachers will utilize the Danielson Framework as a tool for self-assessment, reflection and goal setting for the purpose of improving student learning and achievement.
- We will implement a district-wide SEL initiative, provide effective staff training, and more effectively involve our community in issues related to mental health and well-being.
- We will seek out grants/alternate funding sources, increase our undesignated unspent balance in the general fund by controlling expenses and ensure competitive salaries to better attract and retain a quality workforce.
