This document outlines long-term goals for a school district, established by the Board of Education to guide its direction and address student achievement and needs. The goals are aligned with the district's vision, mission, philosophy, and priorities, focusing on areas such as curriculum development, safe campuses, student proficiency, specialized support for diverse learners, shared accountability, student health and well-being, character development, staff professional development, fiscal integrity, district management, technology integration, facility maintenance, community relations, and inter-agency collaboration. Each goal is intended to include measurable standards, performance indicators, and benchmarks for tracking progress, leading to the development of a strategic plan with short-term objectives and timelines.

The agenda focuses on financial and administrative oversight, including a budget discussion, review of warrant articles, and the default budget. Additionally, the board will review the manifest, receive reports from the Superintendent and Building Administrator, and hear updates from various sub-committees including finance, technology, facilities, and policy.
