Board Focus Goals 2000
The primary focus of the Board and staff continues to be improving the achievement level of all students, K-12. We are working to ensure that every student, regardless of gender, ethnicity, socio-economic status, or history of under achievement succeeds at the highest level.
- Create and implement a developmental reading program for grades 7-9 (and grade 6 at La Cumbre Middle School).
- Investigate the various options for creating facilities for Open Alternative School and Santa Barbara Charter School including analyzing alternative sites within the district and/or rehabilitating the existing facilities. Also, develop specific action plans for addressing the current inadequate facilities that exist at these two sites.
- Acknowledge the dedication and hard work of principals and teachers. Develop better support systems for both groups that include increased opportunities for staff development and staff collaboration.
- Develop three-year budget projections for both districts including the development of long-range enrollment projections. Evaluate alternatives for giving sites more discretion over their budgets with incentives and accountability components.
- Develop a comprehensive, long-range vision and plan for facilities and housing.
