PRIORITIES
1. Get the schools back on track after COVID, but in ways that incorporate the best things we've learned during COVID -- including continuing to make Board meetings available via Zoom (with translation) after we return to face-to-face meetings.
2. Promote the development of programs/practices/systems to get kids caught up from what they lost during COVID.
3. Improve our ability to assess student progress reliably and efficiently, so we can set meaningful growth and achievement goals (including closing gaps) and effectively measure our district's performance (and have clearly documented and meaningful improvements we can tout!).
4. By the end of my new term, draw more students to NSD than we are losing to other districts.
5. By the end of my new term, have NSD be known as a district which made impressive headway on eliminating inequities in student experience in a way that reduces political polarization rather than enhances it.
6. By the end of my new term, get our curriculum adoption process up to date and on a good cycle.
7. Manage the bond projects responsibly and effectively.
-- and fundamental to all these: improve the Board's internal dynamics in decision-making and build trust so it can get the most advantage out of the many different viewpoints the members represent.
