BOARD OF EDUCATION
Annually, the Board of Education establishes district-wide goals for school improvement. In addition to the district's goals, school improvement teams at each building develop and implement goals specific to the needs of their students. Renewed efforts to coordinate the curriculum and programs are underway. By determining the desired "Columbia graduate profile" or the essential skills needed to graduate, we are working to develop our instructional opportunities to aid students in achieving those necessary skills.
