District presents 2025–26 vision cards and equity 'magnifier' to board
Summary
District leaders presented the vision-card materials for Strategic Direction A — creating safe, welcoming and inclusive learning environments — including the equity transformation cycle and proposed process and outcome measures for monitoring implementation.
District leaders brought a system-strategy snapshot for Strategic Direction A to the board, framing the work with a continuous-improvement magnifier that centers equity and sets process measures (learning walks, tiered-fidelity inventories, equity team charters) alongside outcome measures (sense of belonging, non-exclusionary discipline, trust in adults). Brian Bass described the role of vision cards as data points that connect priorities to measurable strategies and outcomes.
"Vision cards measure the district success in achieving our strategic directions," Bass said as he walked the board through the new 2025–26 materials. Presenters reviewed staff and student survey results: the staff equity review had 1,097 respondents (~34% response rate) and several student and family measures showed increases in positive responses from 2024 to 2025. The district emphasized disaggregation of results by race, language services and special-education status to surface equity gaps and to guide site-level improvement work.
Board members debated how much operational detail should appear in public-facing materials versus internal monitoring reports, and asked for clearer, digestible summaries of key wins and remaining challenges. Staff described plans to continue refining measures, to engage students in revising student survey items, and to embed coaching for site leaders as they implement the equity transformation cycle.
