Superintendent Shaw presents literacy review, AI and academic goals; board presses for measurable targets
Summary
Superintendent Shaw outlined three draft goals — a district literacy-review plan, two innovation initiatives including AI and cell-phone strategy, and academic outcome metrics — and agreed to place clarified goals on the March agenda after board members urged measurable deliverables and alignment with superintendent-evaluation components.
Superintendent Shaw presented three draft goals for the district's evaluation period and framed the literacy objective as a review of current practice rather than an immediate curriculum change. "So it's really it's a it's a review of our literacy practices in our district," Superintendent Shaw said, describing the deliverable as an analysis of whether existing literacy practices are producing the expected outcomes and where staff sit with current programs.
Board members questioned whether a "plan to analyze" counts as a board-level oversight goal or an administrative deliverable and pushed for measurable targets and timelines. One board member said, "So when I look at the 1st 1 is to enhance, are you gonna create a plan to analyze, like, that has been, like, everything's always, I'm gonna create a plan..." The board discussed linking future superintendent goals to specific components of the superintendent evaluation tool (policy & governance; organizational management) so that goals would be measurable and reviewable at the September evaluation.
Shaw told the board he would prepare clearer wording and place the goals on the March agenda for formal review, and members signaled they expect explicit deliverables and evaluation criteria before adopting goals as part of official oversight.
