Summary

Assistant Superintendent Jim McCausage summarized the district leadership retreat (theme: building visions), equity work (IDI assessment), restorative practices and site improvement planning; he also reported 437 kindergarten registrations to date against a target of 462.

Assistant Superintendent Jim McCausage presented highlights from the district leadership retreat, which focused on the theme "building visions" and brought principals, assistant principals, deans, directors and other leaders together to align building‑level visions with the district strategic plan. The retreat included data review, community survey feedback, an IDI (Intercultural Development Inventory) assessment to support equity work, restorative practices training with Jitendra Pulkundan, and sessions to convert building visions into concrete site improvement plans and action steps.

McCausage also provided an enrollment update: "As of noon on Friday, we had 437 kindergartners registered," he said, against a district target of 462. He told the board that, given earlier outreach and the enrollment center's efforts, staff expected registration to continue and to meet or exceed planning estimates before the start of the school year.
