The Mercer Island School District's Board of Directors systemically measures the district's attainment of
Board Policy 2020.
On an annual planning calendar established by the Board, the
superintendent must show reasonable progress toward organizational
accomplishment of the Board's 2020 Policy annually.
The Board
monitors these policies both quantitatively and qualitatively.
Monitoring the fundamentals allows the Board and the community to
contextualize how our educational programs are “benchmarking” toward the
six fundamentals that drive the district’s 2020 Vision that says, “Our
students will thrive in the cognitive, digital, and global world while
sustaining their passion and inspiration for learning.”
This page

Board Policy 2020. To do a more comprehensive search of all Mercer
