Elizabeth City-Pasquotank board approves five-year strategic plan with 2031 numeric targets
Summary
The board unanimously approved a five-year strategic plan that sets numeric 2031 targets—10-point gains in reading and math proficiency, a 95% four-year graduation rate, and a public data dashboard to track progress.
The Elizabeth City-Pasquotank Board of Education on July 27 unanimously approved a five-year strategic plan that sets measurable targets for student outcomes and district operations through 2031.
Dr. Parker, the district superintendent, introduced the plan and said the work was funded through a partnership with the Innovation Project. Consultant Dr. Andrea Thomas Reynolds described the plan’s four priorities—reimagine education; talent recruitment, retention and development; expanding partnerships; and operational excellence—and the numeric goals tied to each. “The headline targets are to include a 10 increase in reading proficiency, 10 increase in mathematics proficiency, a 4 year graduation rate of at least 95 percent, and an average daily attendance of 95 percent,” Dr. Reynolds said during the presentation.
Board members pressed staff on accountability and measurement. Dr. Parker said the district will publish a publicly accessible dashboard, developed with partners including Virginia Commonwealth University, so the public can track progress on plan measures. “We don’t want these metrics to be something that we don't talk about again till 2030,” he said, adding the goal is to make the data available early in the school year.
The motion to approve the plan was made by Tommy Old and seconded by Miss Bolin; board members voted by show of hands and the motion passed unanimously. Staff said the plan will now be finalized in design and printed for public distribution, with one-page summaries and community mailers planned.
