Summary

District staff presented a district leadership and organizational‑effectiveness 100‑day plan aligning building leaders and central office around student achievement and well‑being and previewed a public dashboard to report assessment and attendance metrics quarterly.

A district staff member presented the Manitowoc School District's leadership and organizational effectiveness 100‑day plan on Feb. 5, describing it as the framework that will produce and align shorter 100‑day plans across buildings and central office to focus on student achievement and student well‑being.

The presenter said the plan is organized in three phases (days 1—0, 31—0 and 61—00) and emphasizes instructional leadership, coaching cycles, and data‑driven decisions. "This particular hundred day plan really focuses on our... framework for setting goals," the presenter said, adding that building leaders have created 100‑day plans that connect to district strategic priorities.

Staff told the board the district will report results from its winter assessment window at the board meeting next week and intends to pilot a public‑facing dashboard that shows district benchmark, attendance and behavioral data roughly four times a year to follow the assessment calendar. The presenter said the initial public view would be by level (elementary, middle and high) rather than by school and staff will solicit feedback before wider release.

Board members asked how the dashboard would be accessible to families and community groups; staff said the dashboard will be shown to the board for feedback, posted on the district website when ready and accompanied by a press release. The presenter said the district will keep improving the dashboard and "own" the data publicly even if it is a work in progress.

The presenter framed the plan as a system‑wide effort to increase growth at each grade level by aligning instructional practice and strengthening leadership capacity; staff said next steps include sharper expectations for evidence of impact and stronger board reporting on strategic goals.

The board did not take final action on the 100‑day plan at the workshop; staff said formal recommendations and assessment results will return to the board in a subsequent meeting.
