OCSD superintendent lays out "Higher Intentionality, Higher Integrity, Higher Impact" vision at convocation
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Sean Foster used the convocation to outline a year-long focus on "higher intentionality, higher integrity, higher impact," promising instructional priorities, staffing changes and resources to support principals and teachers.
Superintendent Dr. Sean Foster told Orangeburg County School District staff that the coming school year will focus on "higher intentionality, higher integrity, higher impact," urging educators to plan, hold to high standards and prioritize student learning over checklists. "Excellence doesn't happen by accident," Foster said, summarizing the district's goals for leadership, coherence and measurable outcomes.
Foster described the district's operational expectations: principals and teachers should plan with purpose, ensure 85% mastery of core content before moving on and reduce reliance on passive instructional tools on designated days (he announced a plan for no-technology Tuesdays and Thursdays for focused, teacher-led instruction). He told staff the district would prioritize hiring "people with integrity" and supply supports when schools request resources, saying, "If you don't get it, everybody got my number, use it."
