B. DISCUSSION ITEMS
B.1. 2015-2016 MBUSD Board Goals
Speaker:
Dr. Michael Matthews
Rationale:

The Board Goals that are approved each year by the MBUSD Board of Trustees are an essential tool for the Superintendent and the District.  These goals guide the District throughout the year and determine the focus of improvement efforts for the year.

The advent of the LCAP process means that goals must be developed earlier in the year.  The full LCAP is attached. In June, the Board adopted the following LCAP Goals:

  • Improving student achievement through the implementation of research-based teaching and learning strategies.
  • Improve student achievement by targeting students not meeting standards
  • Maximize safety and school connectedness for all students and employees
  • Improve student achievement through high quality professional development for employees.
  • MBUSD will address the needs of the "whole child" through excellence and accessibility in physical education, the arts, and career technical education.
  • Students will maintain strong results in key indicators of student success. (Many of these indicators are LCAP requirements in areas where MBUSD is traditionally incredibly strong - such as attendance, graduations rates, reducing suspensions and expulsions)

In the 2014-15 school year, the Board of Trustees adopted the following goals (the full version of the goals is attached):

  • Focus on Successful Academic Strategies
  • Focus on Career Development and Continuous Learning for all Staff:  Teachers, Support Staff, Counseling and Administration
  • Continuous Improvement of Secondary Schools
  • Maintain a Sound Budget Focused on Maximizing Student Achievement
In this discussion item, the Board and Superintendent will begin to develop draft goals for the 2015-2016 school year.
