South Callaway School District R-2

Missouri's Consolidated State Plan under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) focuses on ensuring equitable access to opportunities for all students to graduate college and career ready. Three key strategic priorities support this goal: Access, Opportunity, Equity; Effective Teachers and Leaders; and Efficiency and Effectiveness. The plan details strategies and initiatives to improve academic achievement, graduation rates, and English language proficiency, with a focus on closing achievement gaps and providing support for low-performing schools and students. The plan includes long-term goals, interim progress measurements, and accountability systems to monitor progress and provide targeted support to schools and districts. Key initiatives include the Missouri School Improvement Program (MSIP), the Statewide System of Support (SSOS), and the Educator Equity Plan. The plan also addresses issues such as disproportionate rates of access to educators and school conditions.

The South Callaway R-II Strategic Plan (2023-2026) focuses on four key priorities: Progressive Leadership, Effective Teaching & Learning, Collaborative Culture & Climate, and Equity & Access in Learning. The plan aims to improve student outcomes in reading and math, increase graduation rates, enhance school climate and culture, and foster a supportive learning environment. Specific goals include increasing staff retention, improving student performance on assessments, developing community partnerships, reducing disciplinary referrals, and expanding vocational opportunities. The overall vision is to prepare all students to be positive participants in society while fulfilling their highest potential, producing graduates who are "Success Ready" citizens.
