Superintendent Schaeders presented district goals for the 2025–26 school year at the first regular August meeting. She highlighted a mentor‑mentee program aimed at supporting new teachers and developing mentor teachers as leaders. The superintendent said she has begun work on a master planning document that will dovetail with the planned high‑school renovation and other priorities such as parking‑lot projects; she described a 2–3 year planning horizon for smaller projects. On assessment, Schaeders said the district will set a schoolwide DIBELS goal for primary‑age students to emphasize growth and performance. She noted that the statewide iLearn system has added beginning/middle/end‑of‑year checkpoints that will give teachers interim data in addition to the summative test at year end. The superintendent also emphasized reading comprehension as a district literacy priority and said she will work with principals to align school goals. She described a superintendent self‑assessment rubric she is developing and offered to share that working document with the board. These items were presented for discussion and planning; no formal board action was taken on these goals during the meeting.
