Strengthen trust to cultivate sustainable partnerships in pursuit of student success

We believe that our students truly succeed when we have strong community partnerships in a variety of forms. We are thankful for the deep investment of our community — internships, apprenticeships, donors, volunteer hours — and look to give back and instill a sense of service and pride in our neighborhoods.

We will accomplish this priority by:

1. Conveying the value of public education to our community

• Status: In Progress
• The Communications team is on track to complete the communications plan by July 30.

2. Fostering participation in engagement opportunities (PTAC, Committees)

• Status: In Progress
• Initial work with Leadership on implementation of the Focus Group recommendations is complete, and rebranding is underway.

3. Engaging students in community activities

• Status: In Progress
• Schools have been encouraged to host events that highlight student learning, such as innovation nights, student exhibitions, performances, and career pathway showcases.
• Work is underway on building structures for student voice through Board of Education student representatives, student advisory groups at secondary schools, and periodic Superintendent student roundtables.

We will measure success through:

• Public perception survey
• Enrollment data
• Culture of Excellence and Ethics survey
