We will begin implementation of our new Strategic Plan this school year. Our plan includes a set of ambitious goals and related metrics to help us measure and report the district’s progress. The plan also includes a set of aims that represent the actions we will take to achieve our goals.

Equity benefits all students. Informed by our recently updated Equity Policy, we will hold ourselves accountable to practices that will interrupt the predictive association between race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status and student outcomes.
