The North Judson-San Pierre Strategic and Accountability Plan was up for approval when school board members met last Tuesday.
School officials first reviewed the Corporation Plans during their March school board meeting. At that time, Superintendent Dr. Annette Zupin stated that a three to five-year plan for facility and organization regarding the Middle School and Elementary school was to be incorporated into the corporation’s strategic and accountability plan.
She added the ideas that emerged from a recent curriculum audit are also reflected in the plans. Those initiatives include curriculum writing and mapping, focused professional development and collaboration time and streamlining assessments and software.
During this month’s meeting, she elaborated a bit on the specific components within the plan, stressing the importance of a diverse and relevant curriculum, continuous student achievement growth and financial stability. She added that engagement from parents, businesses and community members is also a valuable component of the plan.
Dr. Zupin also provided some elements of the plan that are specific to NJ-SP such as ensuring staffing matches enrollment numbers and sharing information in multiple ways.
Another school-specific component is incorporating an updated elementary school master schedule and continuing the Junior/Senior High Academy to give students more time to focus on areas that may need improvement.
The school board members voted to adopt the plan as presented.
