Mission

Ensuring all students obtain all the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that will enable them to reach their personal goals and be a productive, contributing member of our society.  

Vision

The key to improved student learning is increased capacity in adults. We will become a high-functioning professional learning community, in an effort to increase the capacity of ALL adults in our system.

Commitments

  • Educators work in collaborative teams and take collective responsibility for student learning rather than work in isolation.
  • Collaborative teams implement a guaranteed and viable curriculum.
  • Collaborative teams monitor student learning through an ongoing assessment process that includes frequent team-developed common formative assessments.
  • Educators use the results of common assessments to improve individual practice, to build the team’s capacity to achieve its goals, and intervene and extend on behalf of students.
  • The school provides a systemic process for intervention and extension.
  • Expand the learning community. Just like teachers should not work in isolation, neither should teams, schools, or districts.

Goals

  1. Learn from the highest achieving schools and districts in the state until we become the highest achieving district in the state.
  2. Be recognized as a model PLC district and have each school be recognized as a model PLC school.
  3. Have each student connected to their school.
  4. Have each secondary student complete post-secondary launch prep courses by the time they are done with high school.

Participants at Board Meetings

A quorum of three board members is needed to conduct official school district business. In addition to the board, the superintendent, business administrator and members of the administrative team will be on hand to provide reports and explanations. At many meetings, a department representative will share information about the function, effectiveness, and future plans of a particular service. Such issues as goals, evaluation, growth, budget, instructional methods, and programs are addressed.
