School Board Sets 2025-2026 Goals to Enhance Facilities and Academic Performance

The Klamath County School Board has set ambitious goals for the 2025-2026 school year, focusing on enhancing student learning and improving facilities. During the recent board meeting on August 22, 2025, members outlined three key objectives aimed at fostering academic growth and addressing infrastructure needs.

The first goal emphasizes a long-range facilities plan that directly correlates with class size and student learning outcomes. The board committed to quarterly work sessions to evaluate progress and develop a comprehensive plan by the end of the school year, prioritizing buildings with specific needs.

The second goal aims to boost student academic performance through a comprehensive strategy led by the superintendent and administration. This includes setting career benchmarks for student growth and staff effectiveness. The board plans to monitor training development, analyze student testing results, and gather anonymous staff and student satisfaction surveys to identify areas for improvement.

Lastly, the board reiterated its commitment to staff engagement and professional development. This includes ongoing school board training, participation in school events, and attendance at relevant conferences to stay informed about educational trends and legislative changes in Oregon.

These goals reflect the board's dedication to creating a supportive learning environment and ensuring that both students and staff have the resources they need to succeed. The board will continue to refine these objectives as they move forward, with a focus on accountability and measurable outcomes.
