Foster quality staff to provide stability and instruction to optimize student success

We believe our students deserve a quality education from outstanding instructors that care about students and their path to success. We look to foster a positive climate and culture, a sense of belonging, and professional growth for staff amidst fierce competition from regional school districts that benefit from the recently revised School Finance formula.

We will accomplish this priority by:

1. Providing information on school finance and long range plans

• Status: In Progress
• Implementation of the School Finance Education campaign is anticipated for 2026 - 2027. Work is underway on campaign materials.
• The Long Range Facility Planning Committee has re-engaged.

2. Implementing career pathways, succession planning, and leadership opportunities

• Status: In Progress
• Human Resources is continuing work with the Maintenance & Operations Department on pathway opportunities, as well as strengthening partnerships with the teacher cadet program and TEACH Colorado through student surveys in 2026 - 2027.

3. Outperforming the state average retention rate for licensed staff

• Status: Complete for 2025 - 2026
• The district outperformed the state's all-staff retention rate — 82.35% vs. 79.82%. The Human Resources Department is developing a "stay" survey.

We will measure success through:

• Culture of Excellence and Ethics survey
• Staff retention rates
