Interim Superintendent Terry Wood outlines goals; board approves goals in unanimous roll call
Summary
Interim Superintendent Terry Wood presented a quarterly update, set district goals for PBIS fidelity, academic growth and fiscal reporting, and told the board she will not accept incentive funds for meeting those goals; the board approved her goals by unanimous roll call vote.
Interim Superintendent Terry Wood presented a quarterly update to the Sierra Vista Unified School District governing board on Feb. 4, outlining community engagement work, enrollment and discipline metrics, and a set of performance goals the board approved.
Wood detailed recent community "Talk with Terry" sessions and school events, saying the conversations help guide district changes. She reported a month-to-month enrollment increase of eight students and stressed attendance and discipline goals, noting the district aims to keep attendance above 90 percent and reduce repeated minor referrals through Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS).
On specific goals, Wood proposed an 80 percent PBIS fidelity target at all schools by the end of the year, math and English language arts growth targets tied to state assessments and ACT performance at Buena High School, a community-engagement objective that includes a minimum of two additional listening sessions by June 30, 2026, and a fiscal-responsibility plan to provide quarterly internal audit updates. "I am not going to accept any funds for meeting these goals," Wood said during the presentation, adding she still intends to meet the targets for students' benefit.
Board members asked procedural questions about attaching the goals to the superintendent's contract and documentation. Administration recommended approval, a motion and second were made, and the board approved Wood's submitted goals in a roll-call vote (passes 5 0).
The board also heard that the Auditor General will present the district's financial risk assessment on March 3 and that district staff have been working through audit findings and corrective action plans.
The board approved the goals; next procedural steps include attaching the goal document to the superintendent contract and receiving the Auditor General presentation in March.
