● The district will research, develop & deploy actions to increase the graduation rate of all student populations, with an intensive focus on under-resourced & underrepresented students.
● Recruit, hire, develop, support and retain an effective, qualified and diverse workforce of teachers, staff and leaders to better meet the needs of students.
