District outlines multi‑year goals emphasizing MTSS, data systems and facilities planning

During the superintendent’s report, the district presented draft strategic goals for the 2023–2026 cycle that emphasize continuing and deepening prior work on stakeholder engagement, implementation science, MTSS (multi‑tiered systems of support), and operational foundations such as facilities and finances.

Administration described efforts to standardize MTSS practices K–12, improve universal screening and progress monitoring, institutionalize integrated team‑based problem solving, and consider a new data warehouse to reduce manual data collation so staff can focus on instruction. The superintendent highlighted a recent facilities effort — a power washing and sign update at an elementary building — as an example of relatively small projects that can improve pride and school appearance while the district plans for larger projects like HVAC and roofs.

Financial goals include proactively planning for future needs and aiming to maintain a minimum cash balance equivalent to approximately 90 days of expenditures, with an eye toward measuring return on investment for programs. Board members asked questions about the potential workload for teachers posed by expanded data collection; administration said much of the work is already in practice and that the proposed data warehouse is intended to reduce effort for frontline staff.

Administration said it would return with additional details and indicators of success to refine the goals. The board heard the presentation, asked clarifying questions, and did not adopt final goals during the meeting.
