Comprehensive Plan

The Board of Education heard a comprehensive proposal surrounding an administration recommendation referred to as Moving 15 Forward (formerly Beyond Just Boundaries). This proposal is holistic in nature and designed to address long-standing educational and facility needs. It includes updates to educational offerings and the programs and services that benefit all students in our District.
We believe this comprehensive initiative will provide equitable access to programs for all students and help us become a more desirable school district.
