Raleigh County Schools Lea Strategic Plan 2024-2025
The Raleigh County Schools LEA Strategic Plan for FY 2025 focuses on four key areas: academics, high school graduation and student success, attendance and behavior, and educator effectiveness. Academic goals include demonstrating 8% growth in academic proficiency, improving math and ELA scores, and increasing early literacy rates. High school graduation goals aim for a 1% increase in four-year and five-year cohort graduation rates and improved student engagement. Attendance and behavior goals target a 2% decrease in out-of-school suspensions and a 3% decrease in chronic absenteeism. Educator effectiveness goals aim for a 1% decrease in teachers receiving Emerging or Unsatisfactory ratings on Professional Leadership Standards. The plan outlines numerous strategies and action steps to achieve these goals, including implementing research-based instructional strategies, providing extended learning opportunities, strengthening student support programs, improving school climate, and enhancing leadership capacity at both the district and school levels. Significant funding is allocated across various grant programs to support these initiatives.
