While the Mission and Student Achievement Goals are the major drivers of what happens in the school system, the Board also has concerns about how the system operates. These operational expectations express those concerns to the Superintendent and staff. Continuous monitoring by the Board will provide the means for judging whether compliance with the operational expectations has been achieved.
The Superintendent will use technology to support teaching, learning, and the Board's operational expectations and goals. The Superintendent will:
1. Provide a comprehensive and functional technology infrastructure.
2. Provide technology capabilities that are useful for staff members and students.
3. Use technology to support diverse learning techniques and styles.
4. Provide a means for interactive communication between the school system, parents, students, and the community.
5. Provide information electronically about school and division programs and academic progress.
6. Provide a system to access relevant and current data by appropriate users.
Reasonable Interpretations and Indicators
The Board expects the Superintendent to apply reasonable interpretations to its statements of Student Achievement goals and Operational Expectations, and to present those interpretations to the Board as part of the monitoring process. The Board recognizes that strategic choices will be based upon those interpretations, and therefore the interpretations of the Superintendent must be reasonable. The Board further recognizes that there may be serveral potential interpretations to the Student Achievement Goals and the operational Expectations, all falling within the relam of "reasonable." The Board will accept any interpretation made by the Superintendent, as long as the Board considers it to be reasonable.
