Loading...
Summary
District leaders gave a brief annual update on the board’s strategic plan, reporting increases in industry certifications, strong performance for students with disabilities as a subgroup and several recent facility and grant accomplishments.
District staff presented the school board with the annual strategic‑plan update, summarizing accomplishments across five board priorities: student success; talent recruitment and retention; family and community engagement; safe, positive learning environments; and fiscal/operational efficiency.
On student success, the district reported growth in career and technical education industry certifications, rising from about 1,900 to roughly 3,200 certifications. Staff said the district deliberately tracks outcomes for student subgroups and that the ESE (special education) population — about 21 percent of students, per the presentation — scored in the top 10 on several comparative measures when Clay County’s ESE results were compared to other counties.
Other highlights in the presentation included the opening of a Health Science Academy in Fleming Island, completion of 32‑classroom wings at Oakleaf and Lake Asbury, a state grant of $2,000,000 to establish or expand advanced manufacturing technology for CTE programs, and a volunteer program with roughly 9,600 registered volunteers and more than 420 community partners.
Staff reminded the board that the strategic plan is a living document and that each agenda item ties back to the five priority areas. Board members were directed to the full packet for detailed lists of strategies and accomplishments.
No formal board action or vote was recorded during the update.
