CES Board Goals and Vision Statement
3-year plan, adopted December 2025

Vision Statement: “Equity, Access and Opportunity”

Focus

Academic Excellence

Advance academic excellence by ensuring district policies, resources, and instructional practices foster high-quality, innovative teaching and learning in core academics, resulting in measurable improvements in student performance across all grade levels.

(1)  Annual review of the Cambridge Elementary School Continuous Improvement Plan. Request updates on implementation progress as part of the monthly Principal's report out at School Board meetings.

(2)  Advocate for key instructional resources through the budgeting process.

(3)  Request bi-annual report out at School Board meetings detailing academic progress of students using standardized assessments, rigorous coursework participation, and survey data from students, staff, and families when available.

 

Whole Child Development

Support the holistic development of every student by fostering opportunities for students that promote personal growth, creativity, self expression, healthy lifestyles, inclusive values, and lifelong learning habits.

(1) Prioritize programs and activities that build self-esteem, responsible behavior, citizenship, and lifelong learning habits through youth development initiatives and access to diverse co-curricular opportunities.

(2) Celebrate diversity, while ensuring all students have access to high-quality meals and feel valued, respected, and supported in their school communities.

 

Safe and Supportive Environment

Students learn best in safe, inclusive schools where expectations are clear, behavior supports are effective, and every child feels a sense of belonging. The Board’s goal is to prioritize policies and budgets that promote student and staff well being and maintain a welcoming, inclusive and safe environment for all.

(1) Principals and/or their staff will report to the School Board on measures of success related to student social and emotional well-being and mental health including reports of bullying claims and prevention efforts, and student and parent awareness of existing bullying prevention efforts.

(2) Principals and their staff will report to the School Board throughout the academic year that include their school’s well-being, connection and belonging efforts and, as appropriate, outcomes and barriers.
