Each year, district leaders craft challenging goals based on the progress of the previous years’ goals, achievement data, feedback from stakeholders, and a consideration of government mandates, local and societal needs, and relevant research. Our goals must be general enough to encompass and guide all other curricular and building goals, yet specific enough to be measurable and achievable. The district goals then form the basis for building goals, which in turn inform department, administrator, and teacher goals and professional development plans. Progress on these goals is reported mid-year and at the end of the school year.
1. Student Achievement: Improve student performance in English Language Arts and
Mathematics through the integration of an All In mindset, where every educator, regardless of
content area or role, actively contributes to improving student outcomes in ELA and
Mathematics across the curriculum.
2. Culture & Climate: Foster a unified, inclusive, and responsive district culture where every staff
member, student, and stakeholder is 'all in'—committed to shared responsibility, mutual
respect, and continuous collaboration to ensure every learner thrives in being present,
creating positive relationships, focused on academic goals and immersing in
opportunities for civic engagement.
3. Budget: Continue to develop and revise financial plans to address the district budget
challenges while actively seeking more alternative sources of revenue, maximizing shared
service opportunities and most critically, continuing legal, legislative and advocacy efforts to
revise the current state aid formula to provide the district with reliable and increasing revenue
sources to assist with our growing needs. These actions, along with others referenced within
the district goals, will be done with the intention of preserving our community schools.
4. Facilities: Continue monitoring and assessing building needs not addressed within the ESIP
and Referendum projects. Provide professional development opportunities for staff who
complete preventative maintenance within our buildings to further their understanding of newly
installed equipment. Work creatively to address staffing challenges to support the maintenance
of all buildings.
5. Community: Continue to foster and expand partnerships with local, county, and state
organizations to enhance student programs and shared services. This includes addressing
mental health and creating integrated learning opportunities for both staff and students.
Maintain transparency by holding regular committee meetings to gather input from community
members. Collaborate with parents to support school initiatives and communicate the
importance of program development and inclusion to all stakeholders within our school
community. Expand communication specifically through ParentSquare, the district’s signature
platform, at the building level in order to further spread awareness of school happenings to the
school community.
6. Technology: Empower staff and students to navigate and leverage emerging technologies,
including artificial intelligence, with purpose, equity, and responsibility by providing access to
tools, professional learning, and clear parameters that promote innovation, digital citizenship,
and educator confidence at all levels. Cybersecurity will continue to be a foundational priority,
ensuring all users operate in a secure digital environment through robust protection measures
and continuous education.
