Crosby-Ironton school board rates progress on 2021'2026 strategic plan
Summary
The Crosby-Ironton Public School Dist. published its school board's balanced-scorecard results for the 2021'2026 strategic plan: facilities and finances received the strongest marks (averages above 4.0), while enrollment and outreach scored lowest (communication average 2.9). Scores are the board members' averaged self-ratings.
Rick Ali presented the Crosby-Ironton Public School Dist.'s balanced-scorecard results and said the school board averaged individual ratings to assess progress on the 2021'2026 strategic plan. "The district will maintain a fund balance of 7 to 12%," he said, noting that objective received a 4.5 rating.
The board used a one-to-five scale where 1 means "not yet initiated" and 5 means "meeting and exceeding the expectation," Rick Ali said. He described the scorecard as a tool to track academic outcomes, organizational health, stakeholder engagement and resource stewardship and to support data-driven decisions.
On student achievement the board reported an overall average of 3.2 across six objectives. Ali listed specific objective ratings: engaging families (1.0), implementing intentional Tier 2 strategies (3.6), offering state-of-the-art curriculum (4.3), fostering students' community commitment (3.5) and aligning a reading curriculum to standards (3.4).
Student and staff support averaged 3.7 across three objectives: listening to student voice (4.0), fostering positive relationships with employees (3.4) and promoting unity, respect and connection (3.6).
The communication, outreach and marketing focus area scored lowest overall (2.9). The board rated participation in community events 3.0, engaging parents 3.2, strategies to increase enrollment 2.3 and creation of a school identity 3.2.
Facilities earned one of the highest averages (4.1). The board rated addressing maintenance needs 4.0, maximizing efficiencies 4.0 and creating user-friendly, flexible learning spaces 4.5.
For finances the board listed two objectives. Maintaining a fund balance of 7'12% was rated 4.5 and efforts to strive for financial stability while researching new revenue sources averaged 3.83, producing a finance focus-area average of about 4.16.
Ali said the ratings are based on discussions and evidence reviewed during work sessions and business meetings; he directed the public to the district's YouTube channel and website to hear the full conversations. He added that the district will publish this scorecard on its website and will develop a similar scorecard for the next strategic plan.
The video ended with a call for public engagement and an invitation to submit questions to the district.
