Board Goals for 2023-2024

Attract, coach, and retain high quality educators and staff 

The Board suggests implementation of these goals with the following: 

• Develop ideas for highlighting the district to attract staff through branding, social media, website and mentorships.

• Develop a strategic plan to encourage longevity of educators and staff which shall include mentoring and providing ongoing continuing education for all employees.

• Professional development is tailored to meet the needs of teachers, administrators, and staff. They are part of the planning and assessment of these opportunities.

Promote academic growth of all students and proactively reduce achievement gaps

The Board suggests implementation of these goals with the following: 

• Develop an outstanding educational program that ensures that every student achieves the highest academic performance possible and has multiple opportunities to actively participate in both co-curricular and extra-curricular activities offered by our District. 

• Develop and implement both curricula as well as evidence based intervention programs that are consistent to ensure student achievement and encourage growth.

• Expand enrichment opportunities to include Spanish, art music or design.

• Explore the adoption of programs to extend and enrich the PHUSD experience and educational success of students such as IB or AVID. 

• Ensure materials are available to staff and students to engage and support student learning.

Proactively promote the physical, emotional and social well-being of PHUSD by working collaboratively with students, parents, staff and the  community. 

The Board suggests implementation of these goals with the following:

• Communication between and among students, parents, community, educators, staff and the Board is frequent, timely, collaborative, and helpful by utilizing consistent communication systems.     

• Ensure that the safety of the students and faculty is always made a priority by collaborating with local law enforcement, fire, and safety resources to enhance our comprehensive school safety plans and ensure site staff are educated on the plan.

• Continue to use the FITT rubric to evaluate the state of our facilities and determine the priority of needs.     

• Behavior expectations are clearly articulated, supported and taught. Actively measure progress with the goal of a decreased need for referrals and, in turn, site discipline.

• Opportunities for families and the community to engage and connect with the school sites through student recognition, volunteerism, academic, and SEL learning opportunities.

• Working collaboratively with community support groups and seek outside resources to support and enhance opportunities for PHUSD.
