Superintendent reviews strategic‑plan progress; DAC endorses stronger phone guidelines and community engagement
Summary
The superintendent presented the strategic plan year-in-review, touting restorative practices, a new maker-school instructional model and positive NWEA MAPs growth; the District Accountability Committee recommended clearer phone guidelines, more data for decision-making and increased parent engagement.
The Mancos School District Re-6 superintendent presented a year-end strategic plan report at the June 15 board meeting, summarizing work around whole-child supports, restorative discipline practices and professional learning.
The superintendent said district efforts included expanded social‑emotional learning, a "crew" model to build connectedness, development of a maker-school instructional model, stronger leadership teams, and partnerships with organizations such as Colorado Digital Learning Solutions and Catalyst Learning to broaden course options and instructional support. The superintendent reported generally strong results on NWEA MAPs testing with growth in reading and mathematics and highlighted targeted work to address gaps.
Nut graf: The District Accountability Committee reported support for a proposed change in the cell-phone guidance, but urged more consistent staff implementation, clear rationales and data to explain how the new guidelines differ from past practice. The DAC also asked the board to pursue increased parent engagement and scheduled open meetings next year to permit community input on the unified improvement plan and other items.
Board and committee members praised staff for progress on hiring, the mill-levy work that led to improved pay schedules, and facility and transportation maintenance carried out during the summer. The superintendent and committee noted some missed timelines this year and identified cohesion and timeline compliance as growth areas for the coming year.
The board thanked DAC members—Sarah Ray, Lisa Martin and Jessica Cowen were named in the meeting—for their continuing partnership in district planning.
