Missions:

The Superintendent, as the chief executive officer of the school district, is responsible for managing district-wide operations and providing educational leadership for the district’s schools, in conjunction with the administrative staff of principals, directors, and managers. The vision of developing and sustaining a community of learners guides the district’s mission to maximize academic achievement for all students.

The mission of Educational Services is to inspire and support rich and balanced instructional and support services for all students. The focus is on meeting the needs of principals, teachers, students, and families in the areas of instruction, curriculum support, and staff development. A major function is the development, implementation, and evaluation of quality educational programs that incorporate the best educational thinking and research; are reflective of community values and priorities; and attend to the emotional and health needs of students. Attention is given to exceptional and at-risk students, to the support of professional staff development efforts, and to the assessment of student achievement, guided by the district's and state's curriculum standards. Selection of textbooks and other materials are also a responsibility. The purpose of the Instructional Technology component of Educational Services is to ensure that all staff is supported by technology training and resources to enhance instruction in the classrooms.

The mission of Student Services is to improve student performance by implementing a strong network of services for students and their families. Student Services provides intervention at the earliest sign of at-risk behavior such as poor attendance, poor peer and adult relationships, violence, substance abuse, child abuse, health and mental health needs. It is a responsibility of Student Services to form and maintain strong collaboration with community agencies, law enforcement, parents, students and staff. The District is committed to providing appropriate services for students with special needs, emphasizing collaborative models. The Special Education component of Student Services provides such options as speech and language support, adapted physical education, resource specialist support, as well as specialized programs. All programs are provided on regular education campuses; the special education staff is incorporated into the total general education staff at all schools.

The mission of Administrative Services is to be of service to school sites and staff and provide them with the tools necessary to accomplish the goals of educating students. Administrative Services provides coordination of budget development and control, accounting and audit reporting, bargaining unit negotiations, grant management and reporting, procurement, personnel and payroll, facilities planning and maintenance, risk management, transportation, food service, data management and other support services. Employees of the District, both academic and administrative, constitute the most important resource for providing an excellent educational program for all students. It is the goal of the Human Resources component of Administrative Services to provide support for the recruitment of highly qualified candidates for all open positions, the development and use of personnel evaluation processes, and programs for professional growth.
