Mrs. Amy Jordan, the Executive Director of Secondary School Performance, and Ms. Traci Lightfoot, the Executive Director of Elementary School Performance, presented how the district is conducting instructional rounds and instructional walks. Instructional rounds and instructional walks are opportunities when district- and building-level leaders visit classrooms to evaluate teaching and learning and to provide feedback on how to improve practices that will drive achievement.

Mr. Jacob Smith, the Executive Director of Human Resources, led the discussion about the proposed calendar for the 2023-2024 school year and professional learning communities. In addition, the presentation addressed the amount of planning time for teachers to problem-solve, plan curriculum, divide the workload, and develop a plan for student success.

Mr. Joe Quinn, a consultant and former Board of Education member, provided professional development for the Board of Education and the Superintendent based upon the book, The Governance Core: School Boards, Superintendents, and Schools Working Together.
