District outlines strategic roadmap: 'rowing together' to boost instruction
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Wenzel presented a draft district improvement plan centered on three priorities—shifting central office support, strengthening principal instructional leadership, and expanding PLC work—plus five measurable goals including math, ELA, attendance, graduation and Evergreen Elementary delivery.
Superintendent Dr. Wenzel presented the district’s draft improvement plan, arguing the work is grounded in research and focused on three major shifts: orienting central office to support principals as instructional leaders, building principal capacity for instructional feedback, and embedding teacher collaboration through PLCs.
Dr. Wenzel said the district theme is "rowing together" and described the approach as a through-line from mission to school improvement plans, with principals setting school-based goals aligned to district targets. The plan uses an eight-district peer cohort for comparison and sets specific targets for mathematics, language arts, attendance and graduation rates. Dr. Wenzel said Evergreen Elementary remains a priority goal tied to the board’s delivery commitments.
Board members asked whether principals’ schedules will allow more classroom time; Dr. Wenzel said that is the goal and that principals will need to carve that time into their calendars and be supported by central office changes. The superintendent said district leadership will return the plan for board approval in October along with school improvement plans.
