Highlights from our December 4th meeting:
School Board held the first Wednesday of the month meeting at Berlin Elementary School.
At the beginning of the meeting, Celila Guggemos presented information on Mathematics data at Berlin Elementary School. In future meetings, all of the schools will present school-specific mathematical data in the same format that was used this evening.
Superintendent Steven Dellinger-Pate presented the Superintendent Goals, Evaluation Rubric for the Superintendent Evaluation alongside the Strategic Plan Goals to demonstrate alignment and cohesiveness in all areas of focus for the district. The overarching goal is to populate the work that the leadership team and Superintendent are doing and identify next steps for evaluation and areas of growth for the district.
Then, the Board pivoted to the community section of the meeting where community members were invited to share their questions and/or feedback about the proposed Budget Draft 1. After the community forum, the Board engaged in a Board learning opportunity to discuss the roles of the board and how to support and engage with the administration.
As a community, we are committed to focusing on the good of the whole, embracing new ideas, analyzing data thoughtfully, inspiring each other and maintaining a solution oriented approach in line with our core beliefs and strategic plan. We look forward to your continued participation and input as we work together to shape the future of our district.
Your Board
