Sean Lively proposed two named initiatives in his closing remarks as ways to strengthen recruitment, retention and college readiness: a 'Clintondale Promise Scholarship' and a 'Dragon Journey' individualized learning plan for K‑12 students. He said detailed descriptions and his 30‑60‑90 plan are included in the packet he provided to the board.
