Interim Superintendent Phase 1 Update

Transition Planning & Preparation

Purpose

My entry plan’s purpose is to honor the historical academic excellence of our students, teachers, and administrators while also refocusing new energy on aligning resources to achieve the vision and mission that is articulated in our board-sanctioned, student-centered strategic plan. 

This phase will be characterized as a listening journey across critical MCCSC community partners to identify immediate areas of concern, capture upcoming opportunities, and establish leadership assurance with school leaders and faculty.

• Establish the Board and Interim Superintendent as a cohesive leadership team with a singular focused "immediate need" Theory of Action plan.

• Meet with the district's executive team to gather their perception on "where we are and where we need to go" to accelerate student achievement.

• Participate in a series of meet and greets with internal and external community partners.
