Board Priorities

CANBY SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF DIRECTORS PRIORITIES

Increase Student Achievement:
By summer 2012 all students in the Canby School District will demonstrate significant increases of achievement in reading and math. Results will also demonstrate dramatic narrowing of the academic achievement gap between our Hispanic, ELL or otherwise, and our Non-Hispanic students.

Indication of Achievement:
• By Summer 2012, every grade level (grades 3-10), every school and every measurable student subgroup if below 90% meeting/exceeding will demonstrate gains in academic achievement.
• By Summer 2012, the achievement gap between our Hispanic population as compared to our Non-Hispanic population will be reduced by 60% (14 percentage point difference). A difference of 35 percentage points in reading and 33 percentage points in math currently exists between these two groups.

*Internal formative measurements will be monitored to track academic learning. The Oregon State Assessment results will be the summative measurement used to indicate growth towards our district-wide goals.

Develop a K-12 Culture to Promote Student, Parent, Staff Success
Through the 2011-12 school year, the K-12 Collaborative Teaming model will continue to develop a consistent and effective vehicle for improving teaching and learning. Teams at each school will address their specific instructional focus area that ensures consistency of teaching, enhances student learning and demonstrates adherence to K-12 essential skills needed for increased requirements for high school graduation.

Indication of Achievement:
• Every school and team will be able to articulate how focused collaborative efforts contribute to the learning gains of students,
• Each school will have a clear and articulated academic focus area, and
• The school focus will support the K-12 essential skills and the development of critical thinking.

Enhance Positive School-Community Relations
By summer 2012 our school district community will be well informed on school and district efforts, initiatives, programs and activities.

Indication of Achievement:
• Consistently updated websites and ongoing electronic communication from the district office and individual schools,
• Opportunities for meaningful public input into critical district decisions,
• Ongoing and innovative forms of communication will clarify the Collaborative Team model and each school’s instructional focus, as will the academic gains of students, and
• Maintain a responsible and comprehensive relationship with local the media.


Ensure Effective Use of Resources
Despite financial challenges that have required significant reductions in staffing, the Canby School District will continue to maintain sound use of financial resources. Through 2012 we will manage our budget, negotiate contracts, and look for innovative solutions to limit the impact that budget constraints has on services for students.

Indication of Achievement:
Through 2012:
• We will maintain our current standard in regards to facilities
• The budget will emphasize resources that have a direct impact on students while maintaining an ending fund balance as prescribed by the school board.
• The Canby School Board will receive ongoing, timely and accurate information regarding the district’s financial position.
