Superintendent outlines calendar planning, fundraising and communications wins
Summary
Superintendent Ingrid Colvard briefed the board on work to draft a three-year calendar using conference data, the option of 180-day waivers or a midwinter break, about $200,000 more in donations than the prior year, increased conference participation, expanded iReady usage, and an ESD-produced video that drew strong social-media attention.
Superintendent Ingrid Colvard told the board the calendar team will craft a three-year calendar informed by conference attendance data and that the district may explore 180-day waivers or a midwinter break if the board supports those options. She emphasized using conference data to decide early-release hours going forward.
Colvard said the district continues to cultivate private and SCEF funding for programs not covered by state or federal sources and that donations last year were approximately $200,000 more than the prior year. She highlighted robust conference attendance — including some elementary grades at 100% — expanded use of iReady interim assessments to track growth, and an ESD-produced social-media video featuring an auto-shop class that generated the district's highest engagement to date.
