School Leadership is committed to supporting PK-12 schools, students and staff. We hold schools accountable by trusting them, creating their trust in us and remaining open to reciprocal honesty.
We support the district's efforts to close the achievement gaps and promote academic proficiency in all students. This division also works to support Student Engagement, Career and Technical Education (CTE), Visual and Performing Arts (VAPA), Adult Education, Parent Engagement, and Early Childhood Education (ECE).
