Board Retreat

Last night the Board held a retreat where they started to work on a school district vision and create non-negotiable goals for instruction and achievement.  This is a first step in a larger project to align all of the schools within the district around common a mission  goals, and values. The work the Board did last night will impact almost every aspect of the district.  Decisions made on curriculum, instruction and even the budget will be filtered through our mission, goals and values. I will devote much more time to the outcome of this retreat when the work gets finalized over the next few weeks.  I believe this is an important step in the development of a world-class educational system for students and the community of Penn-Trafford.  The school board is the community's voice in the most important undertaking in the nation (the education of our children) and they will set the tone for the work within the district over the next two years.  I was incredibly impressed with the judgement and foresight of the Board last night and cannot wait to share with you the results of their work. when we get it finalized.
