Superintendent frames "rowing together" roadmap, links goals to evaluation
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Wenzel presented a draft district improvement plan emphasizing three priorities—central-office support for principals, principal instructional leadership, and teacher collaboration—aligned to five district goals (math, ELA, attendance, graduation, Evergreen Elementary). He proposed linking the superintendent evaluation to these goals.
Dr. Wenzel told the board the district’s improvement work this year centers on three main approaches: reshaping central office to better support principals in instructional work, growing principal leadership capacity, and strengthening teacher collaboration through PLCs. "We have a theme which is rowing together," he said, adding that the metaphor reflects alignment across roles to improve student outcomes.
He outlined a three-year partnership with PLCs at Work that will begin with leadership teams in year one and extend to teacher-level practices, and described five district goals tied to state measures — mathematics, English language arts, attendance, graduation and the Evergreen Elementary project. Dr. Wenzel recommended the superintendent’s October evaluation explicitly connect to progress on the district improvement plan so the board can assess leadership against these goals.
Board members asked about instructional leadership practice and whether principals’ schedules allow more classroom time; Dr. Wenzel said the plan includes one-on-one coaching and monthly visits by central-office leaders to monitor classroom instruction and support principal development.
