Weigh in on indicators to measure our progress to 2030

On April 18 at the Board of Education's General Business Meeting, Supt. Christina M. Kishimoto identified promises to our students to be achieved in every public school by 2030, organized around five themes:


These are not new ideas: They draw from extensive community outreach during our last phase of strategic planning, our policy, and our work implementing the 2017-2020 Strategic Plan. The goal with our next 10 years is to identify, What will make these promises a reality for every student in every school by 2030? What does that look like, and how do we get there?


PLAN PHASES

Phase I feedback from the community (click to view news release) was collected through August 1, and included:

  • 83 stakeholder groups registered 

  • 2,782 participants

Phase II feedback (click to view news release) on a draft of the plan closed on Sept. 20, 2019. There were 314 respondents to the online survey who provided guidance on our action opportunities identified during Phase I. View results.

You can still take our "Stake in the Ground" survey, launched during Phase II, to identify how you would like to help public schools with this work.

Phase III feedback on proposed and future indicators is open through November 8:

When approved by the Board of Education in early 2020, the 2030 Promise Plan will guide our policies, procedures operations, planning and other activities to ensure we’re on track to deliver on our promises.
