Board hears proposed administrative goals tied to next year’s budget
Summary
Administration proposed district-level budget goals emphasizing one year’s academic growth on local assessments, staff-culture improvements, increased student belonging, and adoption of a teacher-developed instructional framework. Board members pressed for baseline metrics and cultural-competence implementation details.
District leaders presented proposed administrative goals that will guide next year’s budget and implementation work. The goals include: students achieving at least one year’s growth as measured by local summative and benchmark assessments; measurable improvements in staff-culture as shown by the annual staff survey; increased student belonging in the student survey; and the integration of a teacher-developed instructional framework into district- and building-level practices.
Board members asked for baseline data on the one-year-growth target, and staff said past local measures suggest 50–60% of students meet similar growth markers; administrators noted that using more frequent local assessments (rather than a once-a-year state test) will enable more responsive interventions. The board also asked how cultural competence and belonging will be translated into specific, monitorable actions; administrators said cultural-family liaisons and building-level school-improvement plans will be parts of that work but that some specifics remain in development.
