Our 2023-2027 Strategic Plan is the fifth HSD has operated under since unification in the late 1990s. These strategic plans articulate our mission, goals, and focus areas as we strive to increase the achievement of all students. A clear and focused plan is critical to communicating our priorities to all stakeholders, serves as a roadmap to success, and helps align efforts toward a common, student-centered outcome.
While we are actively working on and tracking fifteen metrics to assess our progress, there are five performance targets we will routinely highlight:
- % of students proficient in reading in 3rd grade
- % of students attending more than 90% of their enrolled school days
- % of students participating in at least one school-based extracurricular activity
- % of students on-track to graduate by the end of their 9th grade year
- % of students graduating within four years of entering high school, and % of students completing within five years of entering high school
You are now able to see an infographic with our current status in each of these areas on our new Strategic Plan Dashboard. As we are able to update the dashboard with new data, we will start indicating changes over time. Next summer, once we have a full year of data, we will compile a report with information on our progress toward all fifteen metrics.
Part of our outreach, feedback, and accountability process is to offer parents and community members the opportunity to complete a survey each fall in which they can share their perspectives on the quality of the education program offered in HSD. Please take a few moments to share your thoughts by Thursday, Nov. 30, 2023. The results of the survey will be analyzed along with those from our student survey next spring to see where adjustments to our plan need to be made heading into the 2024-25 school year. Thank you!
