Core Values, Vision and Mission

The Board of Directors Policy 0001 sets the District's direction by defining its Core Values, Vision and Mission. 

The new values, vision and mission statements center the District's work on students as the priority and educating the whole child.

The Student Focused Fundamentals sustain accountability of these goals through an annual monitoring and measuring process. All of this work was previously under Board Policy 2020 that has now been retired.
