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 finalizing the communications plan in alignment with larger department planning.

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

• Status: In Progress
• An implementation plan was created and recommendations will be provided to the Leadership team in May for feedback.

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
