HJT1 Board of Education Goals

Adopted May 13, 2025

Invest in People: Recruit, Retain, & Develop Excellent Staff

Explanation: Attract, retain, and support world-class educators and staff through professional growth, recognition, and a culture of collaboration.

Rationale: Staff quality and retention were top priorities. This goal addresses both immediate staffing needs and long-term workforce development and honors that emphasis and connects to long-term sustainability.

Develop Well-Rounded, Future-Ready Students

Explanation: Ensure every student has access to experiences that support high-quality instruction leading to academic success, character development, and preparation for life after graduation.

Rationale: Includes academic rigor, behavior supports, co-curriculars, and future-readiness - all of which were frequently cited.

Prioritize Safety & Operational Excellence

Explanation: Ensure that all students, staff, and families experience safe, welcoming, and well-maintained school environments, while aligning resources strategically to reflect Board Goals and district priorities.

Rationale: This expands our current safety goad and combines it with fiscal and operational transparency, aligning with community concern for safe, inclusive schools and strategic funding, all of which were mentioned repeatedly. Brings our current "fiscal responsibility" goal into alignment with today's priorities around student needs and outcomes.

Strengthen School-Home-Community Partnerships Through Communication & Engagement

Explanation: Actively engage parents, caregivers, and community members to build trust, improve student outcomes, and increase shared responsibility for success.

Rationale: Parent and community engagement showed up often in relation to pride, behavior, attendance, and perception.
