The following goals form the foundation of the Academic Division including our Local Control and Accountability Plan and School Plans for Student Achievement:

2. Cultivate a safe and healthy learning environment in a climate that is culturally responsive to all students and staff, has tiered academic, behavior, and social emotional interventions and supports and provides emotional safety for students and staff

3. Increase parent and community engagement by developing sustained and transparent relationships with community stakeholders as partners and collaborators
