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

• In Progress: Implementation of the School Finance Education campaign is anticipated for early 2026. The Long Range Facility Planning Committee has re-engaged.

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

• In Progress: Launched Certified pathways in the fall. Classified pathways are anticipated to launch in 2026.

3. Outperforming the state average retention rate for licensed staff

• In Progress: Staff Climate & Culture survey complete. The district outperformed the state's all-staff retention rate — 82.35% vs. 79.82%.

We will measure success through:

• Culture of Excellence and Ethics survey
• Staff retention rates
