On Wednesday, the Superintendent Teacher Advisory Council met with Mrs. Gore and members of the Finance Department to discuss the district budget and the annual budget development timeline. Teachers collaborated to identify immediate needs for the district and establish budget priorities for the 2025-26 school year. These priorities encompass staff, students, schools, and the system as a whole. Their valuable input will play a key role in shaping next year’s budget. #4theT
During their January District Leader’s PLC, principals and assistant principals analyzed the middle-of-the-year screener data. Leaders were able to compare data from fall to winter of 2024 as well as historical data. They were also able to look at subtests from each administration to determine that skills for some subtests were different from one administration to another. This information will allow leaders to take a deeper dive into their school data and continue to make data-driven decisions that will increase student achievement.
Today marks the 100th day of school! Every day our teachers and staff have poured their hearts into every lesson, every smile, and every encouraging word to help our students grow.
From day 1 to day 100, they have inspired, challenged, and supported our students in countless ways. Today, we celebrate them as much as we celebrate this milestone!
