Strategic Plan - Academic Excellence Workgroup

Committee Purpose/Charge

To provide recommendations for the development of an updated strategic plan around academic and well-being outcomes for students. This workgroup will work to identify skills, knowledge, dispositions, and experiences that each student should acquire during their time in our district. The committee's contributions will be critical in creating an actionable strategic plan that aligns with both immediate needs and long-term aspirations through a re-envisioned profile of a graduate.

The superintendent will consider the recommendations as he develops an updated strategic plan.
