Superintendent outlines four priorities and an education-services reorganization
Summary
Superintendent Roach presented four priorities for the year ' teaching and learning, staffing, budget, and infrastructure ' and introduced a reorganization of the Education Services Division designed to centralize expanded learning and data functions while limiting general-fund impact.
Superintendent John Roach (as referenced in the meeting) laid out four priorities for the coming year and described how he plans to operationalize them through systems and clearer division roles.
Roach opened by framing his approach around prevention rather than reaction, distinguishing "gray rhino" risks (probable, high-impact events) from "black swan" events. He listed teaching and learning, staffing, budget, and infrastructure as the district's priorities and said he will focus on supporting principals and classrooms, special education and English learners, consistent customer-service practices, protecting fiscal health (citing positive budget certification and S&P ratings), and maintaining safe facilities.
Dr. Lin presented a proposed reorganization of the Education Services Division that would move expanded learning into the Office of Equity & Access, create an executive director for college and career readiness and an executive director for curriculum and instruction, shift data and assessment to the State and Federal Funding office, and create grant-funded coordinator roles to reduce general-fund impact. Dr. Lin said the realignment is meant to "ensure continuity of essential services to schools with minimal impact to general funds."
