District proposes Title II‑funded principal leadership coaching to support school improvement
Summary
District staff proposed a principal‑leadership coaching program (July–Dec. 2025) funded with Title II to deliver job‑embedded coaching: 10 sessions (four in person, six virtual), coaching summaries to superintendent and alignment with district strategic goals. Cost presented: $63,000.
District staff on June 17 recommended a principal‑leadership coaching program designed to pair school leaders with experienced executive coaches to accelerate school improvement and strengthen instructional leadership.
Presenters described a Title II‑funded proposal totaling $63,000 that would run from late July through Dec. 31, 2025. The planned model provides 10 coaching sessions for matched principals and coaches (four in‑person visits and six virtual sessions). Coaches would conduct focused learning walks, observe meetings and post‑observation conferences and produce session summaries for the principal and the superintendent. Principals would complete pre‑work and reflections between sessions.
Staff tied the coaching program to the district strategic plan goals for strengthening instructional capacity, improving student supports and implementing district systems for academic monitoring. Presenters cited research that job‑embedded coaching and in‑building support help principals develop the data and instructional leadership skills required for rapid school improvement.
The program’s immediate funding source is Title II (federal funds for teacher and leader quality); staff said the coach pilot would be funded from Title II for the 2025–26 school year and that the coaches are retired or proven principals with relevant experience. Trustees asked about measurement and requested that staff provide synopses of coaching sessions and an updated financial report at the board’s next meeting.
Ending: Staff asked the board to approve the coaching agreements and to receive periodic summaries of coaching activities and measurable outcomes tied to principal growth goals.
