Strategic Plan
This is our next installment of the Strategic Plan at a Glance. Over the next several newsletters, we will include a brief overview of the district's strategic plan priorities. A full copy of the plan is available on the district website.
Priority 2
Staff Recruitment, Retention, and Development
Brunswick School Department is fortunate to have some of the most talented and committed educators and support staff serving our students. These passionate individuals are our most valuable asset. As our community continues to become diverse, as the needs of our students continue to intensify, and as our educators are faced with more challenges, it is important that the district continue to attract, recruit, hire, train, and retain high quality staff. Brunswick School Department will continue to strive to hire well-qualified employees who reflect our community and address the needs of our students, who find satisfaction in their work, and who are provided the skills and knowledge to be successful.
Aim 1
To provide our students with the most skilled and effective educators and support staff, Brunswick Schools must attract and recruit talented and empathetic employees who reflect the diversity of our community.
Aim 2
Brunswick schools will retain our skilled and effective educators and support staff by ensuring they are able to see value and find satisfaction in their work.
Aim 3
Employees need constant professional development to maintain and expand their skills and their effectiveness with students. Brunswick schools must provide high-quality professional development programming that supports staff needs and aligns with district goals.
Do you miss watching your student play a sport or playing yourself? Looking for something to do in the afternoon or evening? Soccer, Field Hockey, Track, Football or Volleyball! Come catch a game and support our Brunswick Sports Program! Our athletes have multiple games all week and they play hard for the fans in the stands! The links below contains the athletic calendars for the season for the Brunswick High School and Brunswick Junior High School.
The Say Something, Anonymous Reporting System, trains youth and adults how to recognize warning signs -- especially within social media -- of individuals who may be in crisis and to tell a trusted adult directly or via the anonymous reporting system.
The Say Something Anonymous Reporting System program can be accessed here. Let's keep our Community safe.
