SCHOOL COMMITTEE MISSION STATEMENT
It is the mission of the MTRSD School Committee to ensure that the District consistently provides the highest possible quality of education to every District student, while wisely managing the financial resources available to do so. The School Committee will carry out its functions openly, with civility and integrity, seeking participation and input from educators and administrators, local officials, parents, students and citizens of our member communities.
SCHOOL COMMITTEE GOALS
2021-2022
By June 2022, the School Committee will have completed professional development sessions to broaden our knowledge of key aspects of the MTRSD Strategic Plan, including:
1. 21st century learning
2. Literacy curriculum
3. Distributed leadership
4. Culturally responsive practices
By June 2022, the Committee will establish a regular schedule to inform School Committee members and the general public of major initiatives and progress in implementing the Strategic Plan. Reports will include tangible indicators of student success.
By December 2021, the School Committee will work with the Superintendent to implement a plan to annually gather and share the data needed to better understand why students and families choose to attend MTRSD schools or go elsewhere, with a goal of maximizing total enrollment. The plan will include assigning responsibility for implementation.
By January 1, 2022, the School Committee will vote to recommend to the state legislature at least three legislative and/or regulatory changes designed to improve the educational and financial sustainability of the MTRSD.
The Committee, along with the Communications Director and Superintendent, will continue to improve communication with key stakeholders in a variety of ways, including:
- Committee members will formally meet with representatives of their town at least quarterly, including twice during the budget process: once to solicit input prior to budget development, and later to present/discuss the final draft budget.
- Committee members will actively support the Superintendent in meeting the specific goals of the MTRSD Strategic Plan in the area of Building Community and Prioritizing Relationships.
