Superintendent outlines safety, academics and a reorganization plan
Summary
In his first weeks, Superintendent Dr. Jones presented district priorities emphasizing safety and security, academic achievement, transparency, and a reorganization intended to redirect savings to schools and staff recruitment/retention.
Superintendent Dr. Jones opened his report with operational announcements (parent athletics meeting, staff convocation and student start dates) and then outlined his priorities for the upcoming school year: safety and security, academic achievement (career and college readiness and graduation rates), and transparency and collaboration with staff and the community. "We're going to continue to put increased efforts on safety and security, including cameras, controlled accesses, behavior protocols," he said, describing both behavioral and structural interventions.
Dr. Jones presented a redesigned central-office reorganization intended to repurpose savings from central-office consolidation back to schools and to support recruitment and retention efforts. He invited members of the strategic leadership team to give brief overviews of their areas, including HR, instructional services, student services, technology, finance and nutrition. The board thanked the leadership team and asked that the superintendent and staff follow up with details of the strategic recruitment-and-retention plan and audits and reports the board requested.
