The strategic roadmap for Crosslake Community School focuses on cultivating environmentally literate, community-impacting learners through a nurturing environment. Key areas include providing effective and individualized instruction, enhancing staff professional growth, promoting positive student interactions, improving technology, and updating school operations and facilities. The plan aims to ensure students feel appreciated, supported, and engaged, while staff are empowered and recognized, and families are well-informed and connected.

This policy for Crosslake Community Schools establishes broad curriculum parameters aligned with comprehensive achievement and civic readiness, fulfilling the requirement for a long-term strategic plan under Minnesota Statutes section 120B.11. It mandates the strategic plan to include clearly defined goals and benchmarks for instruction and student achievement, processes for assessing student progress and evaluating curriculum effectiveness, and strategies for continuous improvement. The policy emphasizes equitable teacher distribution, culturally sustaining and antiracist education practices, support for English learners, and fostering a collaborative professional culture to ensure all students achieve career and college readiness.

The Crosslake Community Schools' World's Best Workforce Plan (FY22-FY24) focuses on improving teaching and learning to prepare students for the workforce. Key areas include closing achievement gaps, ensuring kindergarten readiness, achieving grade-level literacy in third grade, attaining career and college readiness before high school graduation, and increasing high school graduation rates. The plan outlines specific measures for seat-based and online programs, targeting improvements in reading and math proficiency for various student subgroups. Strategies involve enhanced interventions, curriculum alignment, staff training (Marzano protocols, EnVoy techniques), and data-driven instruction. The plan also emphasizes a collaborative professional culture, regular evaluations, and ongoing professional development.
