Partnerships & Collaboration:
-
The education of our society’s next generation is too important and large a task to accomplish alone.
When we are being successful…
High levels of collaboration and cooperation within the school district will balance individual needs with collective success. Intentional efforts to engage families and the community as partners in schools and learning will lead to improved outcomes for all students. We will maintain and enhance our current community partnerships while examining new ways to collaborate with other organizations to support students and families and increase efficiency and effectiveness.
Operational Plan Objectives tied to this Strategic Direction:
-
Objective 4.1
The purpose and structure of shared leadership in the school district is clear and understood by staff.

Building teams (BLTs and PLCs) set Objectives, monitor progress, and share accountability for building and individual change.
-
Objective 4.3
Collaboration between employee groups, administration, and the school board leads to an environment that is more effective and fulfilling.
