Overview of Presentation for Community Forum Brief update on Transformation Plan Progress on our academic plan for the year/facilities and curriculum Update on school facilities

Executive Summary The Sandusky City Schools Transformation Plan was introduced on March 27, 2014 with a primary goal of dramatically redefining the delivery of academics and educational services to position our students to compete on a global level. The comprehensive Fall 2016 update indicates that the district is progressing toward the completion of the 327 goals included in the Transformation Plan with 91% either completed or in progress.

Executive Summary The ultimate goal is the completion of the 327 goals that are part of the Twelve Pillars of Excellence. We are currently preparing a schedule of Transformation Plan Pillar meetings designed to review and determine the progress we have made to date with the goal of presenting a comprehensive report to the community in March, 2017.
