The plan emphasizes student learning, resource stewardship and community engagement.
Zooming in
The plan includes seven goal areas, which are in line with the district’s long-range plan and do not change year over year, Chief of Staff Shawna Miller said. What does change is the specific strategies to meet each goal.
The goals outlined in the 2025-26 district improvement plan are:
- Student learning: engage students through instruction and assessment and meeting individual academic needs as they impact their world now and in the future
- Student experience: create safe, engaging environments where students experience a sense of belonging and well-being, and are challenged by learning opportunities
- Resource stewardship: manage resources in a fiscally responsible way
- Resource stewardship: recruit, retain and develop the talents of dedicated teachers and staff
- Community engagement: create a connected culture of community engagement and purposeful communications
- Compliance with federal and state mandates
- Analyze state mandated testing data to inform accelerated instruction needs for students
The context
In April 2023, the board approved the district’s long-range plan, which informs the district’s direction and goals. As part of this plan, board members vote each year to select specific priorities and set the district improvement plan.
Miller gave a presentation at an Aug. 11 meeting explaining how goals are selected for the district overall and each individual campus.
“It is a collaborative process that we use to develop our [district improvement plan], and it’s ongoing,” Miller said. “We have a fall and spring check-in that we use to monitor our targets.”
What’s next
Staff will review these goals three times during the school year, with board updates in December, March and June, according to district documents.
