Mission of CSC

Mission of the CSC The Kyrene Community/Superintendent Council is intended to inform and direct the District’s efforts to ensure that all students achieve their maximum potential to become the problem-solvers, creators and visionaries of tomorrow. It will provide valuable feedback to the Superintendent on the District’s development of actionable plans to meet students’ individual needs, remove barriers to services and to create stable learning environments that foster inclusivity and values diversity.

Your Feedback

What we want We want to ensure that all of our students’ needs—academic, social-emotional, health—are met. We want all of our schools to be diverse. We want students to have access to a variety of experiences so that they are more comfortable with inclusivity. We want our students to be kind and have a passion for learning. We want transparency that translates to action.

Topics to address Consistency among schools and grade levels Professional development for teachers/staff Improved supports for students and families Parental engagement Improved communication with parents/community Address cultural differences Improved data collection/root cause analysis

Suggestions on how Create equity teams at each school Provide students with role models they can emulate Identify and remove barriers to supports and services Engage the students in addressing key issues Include faith based groups Create circles of support for parents/students/families

Moving forward We will begin to share what the District is currently doing to address the concerns identified by the CSC. Engage in discussion on how to respond to those areas that are not currently being addressed. The District will be starting the conversation about redesign of our elementary schools, as we have already done with middle schools, with school leaders (Principals and Assistant Principals).

Small Group Discussion As we begin our work on our elementary school design, we are seeking your input on the following areas: Communication (school to parent, school to community, etc…) Programming (i.e. dual language, leadership academies, arts integration, etc…) Discipline SEL support
