Action ons Taken en • Families want innovative opportunities for their child. • LEAP was developed • Families want more rigorous and challenging curriculum at all levels. • School Improvement Plans have been revised to promote growth and continuous improvement for every student. • School facility use was the lowest rated service in the survey. • Budget Development Committee reviewed the building rental policies and worked with community non-profit groups to improve service and access. • Families want more supervision of instructional staff. • Educator effectiveness was implemented to improve the quality of professional development and the supervision of principals and teachers.
Action ons Taken en (Con Cont.) • Families want breaks in the school year and to finish the school year in early June. • A new calendar was created with more professional development days before students arrive for the school year and the end of school in early June. • Families want to give more feedback about their experience with schools rather than with the District as a whole. • Families may take the survey for each school their children attend and provide comments specific to their experience with those schools. • Families wanted more students to have access to summer school opportunities. • Barriers have been removed by partnering with community partners and providing bussing.
