Employing and supporting quality teachers, administrators and other staff;
Providing rigorous curriculum, technology and high quality facilities;
Ensuring management of the organization; and
Adopting and monitoring an annual budget that allocates resources based on the district’s vision, goals and priorities for learning.

High Expectations for Student Learning

The board will adopt a collaboratively developed district plan focused on learning and achievement for all students. The district’s plan will communicate high expectations for student learning and set clear plans for meeting those expectations. The board will continuously articulate the belief that all students can learn and that each student’s learning can improve regardless of existing circumstances or resources. The board will act as leaders of a vision of shared learning that is supported by individual schools and the community.

District Accountability for Student Learning
