Superintendent outlines goals on school visits, communication, professional development and new assessments
Summary
In a multi‑part update the superintendent said she is increasing in‑person school visits, launching regular district updates, rolling out cohort‑based professional development on AI and English‑learner strategies, and moving toward STAR interim assessments on a 3–6 week cycle to support data‑driven interventions.
The superintendent apologized for being briefly underprepared and then walked trustees through her goals for stronger staff relationships, increased visibility and more frequent district communications. She said she will conduct biweekly in‑person school visits, attend monthly representative staff meetings, and provide monthly district update emails. She also said the superintendent advisory committee has met twice and has helped clarify rumours (for example, about music program staffing).
On instructional support, she described cohort professional development focused on AI tools and strategies for English learners and said the district completed instructional rounds using a tool called Elliot to focus on student engagement. For assessment, staff said the district will likely move toward the STAR interim assessment on a 3–6 week cycle to enable more frequent data cycles and better groupings for targeted interventions. The superintendent asked staff to compile artifacts for the upcoming evaluation and said she will circulate more documentation and evidence to trustees.
