Salida School Mission and Priority Goals

The mission of the Salida School District, in active partnership with family and community, is to ensure that each and every student is prepared to succeed in life, by providing quality instruction and progressive curriculum in a secure and challenging environment which will empower students with the skills necessary to achieve their greatest potential.

Priority Goals

Academic Focus

Priority Goal: Academic Focus- The district’s resources of time, money, and human capital are focused on creating and supporting a teaching/learning environment in which each student (pre-school through grade 12) is held to high expectations and challenged to demonstrate achievement gains.

Leadership Effectiveness

Priority Goal:  Leadership Effectiveness- The Salida School District leadership team that includes the superintendent, directors, managers, supervisors, coordinators, principals, and deans function effectively as a team when addressing issues that impact the teaching and learning environment.

Financial

Priority Goal:   Financial- The superintendent effectively manages the district’s current resources (time, money, and human capital) as well as implements a plan for securing future resources.

Fostering Relationships

Priority Goal: Fostering Relationships- The students, staff, parents, board members and community members know that the superintendent values all people, seeks input, effectively informs and builds partnerships.

Planning

Priority Goal:  Planning- The superintendent uses planning processes as a means to focus the district’s current resources on the identified areas of need and to develop strategies to secure future resources to direct the district’s continuing needs. Planning will encompass all areas necessary to provide quality learning experiences that support the development of the “whole” student which includes arts, languages, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities.
