EMPOWER: 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

  • In Progress: School Finance communications complete and underway with implementation (January 2026 launch); Re-engaging Long Range Facility Planning Committee

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

  • In Progress: Developing and launching certified and classified pathways in fall 2025

3. Outperforming the state average retention rate for licensed staff

  • In Progress: Awaiting 2024 - 2025 data release; Climate & Culture survey underway (October 2025)

We will measure success through:

  • Culture of Excellence and Ethics survey
  • Staff retention rates
