Strategic Plan Tactics

  • We will always operate a school which is physically and emotionally safe with environments conducive to learning.
  • School and program plans will always be aligned with the Strategic  Plan of the district.
  • We will not tolerate behavior or language which demeans the dignity or worth of any individual or group.
  • No program or service will be retained unless it makes an optional contribution to the mission and benefits continue to justify the costs.
  • We will not tolerate ineffective performance by any staff member.
  • As we focus on improving English-language arts and math, we do so within a balanced curriculum.
  • No new program or service will be accepted unless:
    • It is consistent with the Strategic Plan,
    • Its benefits clearly justify the costs,
    • Provisions are made for professional development, program evaluation and communication with constituents.
