Superintendent reports progress on district goals; discipline referrals down 2% so far
Loading...
Summary
The superintendent reported the district has met or is on target for several KPIs across four district goals, including a 2% decrease in office-discipline referrals compared with the 2024–25 baseline and ongoing planning for a K–12 'portrait of a student.'
The superintendent presented the district's update on four strategic goals — fostering safe and supportive environments, improving communication and transparency, advancing academic excellence and equity, and long-term facilities sustainability — and the status of related key performance indicators (KPIs).
On school climate, the superintendent said "we have met" the KPI showing 100% of schools have posted schoolwide behavior expectations and that 90% of staff have been trained in restorative practices. Comparing August–February data for 2024–25 and 2025–26, office-discipline referrals decreased by 2%, a step the superintendent described as progress toward the board's 10% reduction target.
Board members asked what additional steps will drive the decrease toward the 10% goal. The superintendent said the district has moved beyond initial PBIS installation into a full implementation year focused on teaching, reteaching and reinforcement, and highlighted Shady Grove's work as an example. He noted further data and ongoing trainings will inform progress.
On curriculum and student development, the superintendent said the 'portrait of a student' effort will be K–12 and that the district has selected a professional-learning partner to develop a stakeholder engagement plan this spring; more public presentations are expected next year as year-two work begins. On facilities, he said four of five KPIs are met and the remaining KPI — adoption of a 10-year capital improvement plan — was presented to the facilities committee and is on the April 6 agenda for board approval.
No formal votes were taken during the report; board members asked for continued updates and for staff to provide more detail on timelines and resource needs as year-two planning proceeds.
