Superintendent Steiner outlines teacher-pipeline, attendance and partnership efforts
Summary
Dr. Steiner told the board about a "Future of Fargo" meeting to build a teacher pipeline, upcoming meetings with juvenile court and a United Way attendance forum, and highlighted partnerships supporting enrollment and community events.
Dr. Steiner briefed the board on several near-term initiatives aimed at strengthening the district workforce and community partnerships.
She summarized a discussion with Valley City State about the "Future of Fargo" project to build a pipeline into the teaching profession, including strategies for dual-credit so students can graduate high school with college credits and enter teacher education sooner. She said the district would explore grant opportunities led by district staff to support the effort.
Dr. Steiner said district staff will meet with the Cass County state's attorney and juvenile court to "level set" procedures before the start of the school year so both districts and the courts can be more efficient. She also said she will attend a United Way gathering where attendance will be discussed from legislative, school and community perspectives, connecting the work to the district's critical objective on attendance.
On community events and operations, Dr. Steiner highlighted a recent job fair and the Infinite Campus enrollment rollout, noting specific operational results: "I believe we had 66 people from the community that attended," at the job fair, and "We probably had about 10 or 12 FPS people working on getting families registered in our new Infinite Campus system." She also flagged staffing concerns about late resignations and said the issue will be part of upcoming negotiations.
