Following
are the most recent "redlined" versions of each showing where staff
sought to revise both documents to incorporate the school board's most
recent comments from a public discussion during the May 14, 2013 school
board meeting:Vision and Mission Statement (with changes tracked)
Draft Interim Goals 2013-18 (with changes tracked)
Once the
school board and superintendent are satisfied that they have discussed
and collaborated these drafts to the point of achieving the consensus
that they have worked six months to establish, they will consider, for
final approval at a future board meeting, the district's new mission,
vision, and goals.
The
school board has clearly directed that while they will ultimately set
the vision, mission, and specific goals for the future, they will expect
staff to prepare plans for each school year to achieve measurable and
accountable results in the pursuit of the district's new long-term
goals. These plans, which will begin to be developed this summer as soon
as the school board takes final action, will be publicly shared with
the board and community as they are developed and finalized. |
