Superintendent outlines district improvement plan focused on instructional leadership and PLCs
Summary
Dr. Wenzel previewed a draft district improvement plan emphasizing central office changes to support principals, principal leadership development and teacher collaboration via a three‑year PLCs at Work partnership. The plan sets measurable goals for math, English language arts, attendance and graduation rates.
Dr. Wenzel presented a draft district improvement plan and a three‑part strategy intended to improve student learning across the district.
He described three core shifts: refocusing central office to support principals as instructional leaders, investing in principal leadership capacity and expanding teacher collaboration through professional learning communities. "The central office shifts to be able to help principals become stronger instructional leaders," Dr. Wenzel said, adding that the district will partner in a three‑year PLCs at Work cohort that begins with leadership in year one and moves to teachers in subsequent years. He also said the district set specific goals—math, English language arts, attendance and graduation rates—based on benchmarking against eight demographically similar peer districts.
Dr. Wenzel told the board the improvement plan and aligned school improvement plans will come back to the board in October for approval and that the superintendent evaluation discussion should be linked to progress on these goals.
