TTUSD superintendent presents midyear progress on strategic plan; district reports majority of actions underway
Summary
Superintendent presented a midyear progress report on TTUSD’s year‑two strategic plan, reporting 20 actions across academic achievement, support systems and community connections with many items marked complete or in progress, including new math curriculum implementation and professional growth incentives for classified staff.
Superintendent Kirsten Kramer delivered a midyear progress report to the Tahoe‑Truckee Unified School District board on Jan. 22, saying the district is in year two of its strategic plan and has made measurable progress across academic achievement, support systems and community connections.
"We are in year 2, and our strategic plan is organized around three focus areas: academic achievement, support systems, and community connections," Kramer said, summarizing the district’s midyear self‑assessment. Kramer said the plan contains 20 actions: seven in academic achievement (five complete, two in progress), eight in support systems (two complete, five in progress, one not started) and five in community connections (one complete, two in progress, two not started).
Highlights Kramer cited included implementation of a new elementary math curriculum with ongoing teacher training and parent nights; a negotiated professional‑growth incentive for classified staff agreed this year; and the creation of tracking for work‑based learning in the student information system (Aeries), which the superintendent said recorded 92 points of contact between students and industry professionals so far this year.
Kramer also pointed to the district’s support systems work as exemplified by Tahoe Lake’s SEL presentation that evening and noted ongoing efforts to update emergency safety plans and to collaborate with local partners on inclusive‑school work. She said community partnerships for outdoor education and environmental literacy are active, with the chief technology officer reported to be coordinating a work group of community partners (the transcript indicates the figure cited varied between "about 40" and "closer to 20").
Kramer described the midyear progress report as a “living document” and said some actions were reworked after reviewing existing committees and site capacities. She told trustees the report is intended to guide ongoing updates at board meetings and in the district newsletter.
The presentation was informational; trustees did not vote on the strategic plan itself at the meeting. Board members responded with praise for classroom calm and structured‑recess practices stressed in the Tahoe Lake presentation and thanked staff for the work on curriculum and safety planning.
