Superintendent outlines strategic roadmap centered on instructional leadership and PLCs

Enumclaw School District Board of Directors · August 17, 2026

Summary

Superintendent Dr. Wenzel presented a draft district improvement plan focusing on three priorities: reorienting the central office to support principals, strengthening principal instructional leadership, and expanding teacher collaboration through PLCs and a three-year PLCs-at-Work partnership.

Dr. Wenzel, the district superintendent, presented a draft strategic roadmap and district improvement plan that centers on three priorities aimed at improving student learning: shifting central office functions to better support principals, developing principal capacity as instructional leaders, and investing in teacher collaboration through professional learning communities (PLCs).

"The central office shifts to be able to help principals become stronger instructional leaders," Dr. Wenzel said, describing work that will align district mission, the board's five commitments, school improvement plans, and teacher goals. He said the district will pursue a three-year PLCs-at-Work partnership in which leadership teams (year one) then teachers (years two and three) embed common practices and essential standards in math and language arts.

Dr. Wenzel emphasized measurement and peer-district comparisons: the district identified eight demographically similar districts for growth comparisons and set specific targets for mathematics, English language arts, attendance and graduation rates. The draft plan will return to the board in October for approval along with school improvement plans.
