The school board governance role centers on improving student learning outcomes. The Washington School Board Standards provide a common framework for school board governance for local school boards and directors in which our school board sets its annual goals.

Standard 4a: Committing to continuous improvement in students achievement at each school and throughout the district.
The board will hold the school district accountable for meeting learning expectations by:
- The board will continue to monitor student mastery of learning standards aligned to the Strategic Plan goal areas and provide opportunities for two-way communication with all stakeholders. This will include Superintendent Advisory Council meetings with community and board participation, School Improvement Plan (SIP) progress monitoring reports, opportunities for celebrations, and regular progress monitoring updates.
- The board will strengthen two-way communication with stakeholders throughout the year and maintain transparency by sharing regular updates on district progress. Each year, the board will review the district’s strategic and school improvement plans, celebrate the efforts of staff and schools, and ensure student learning goals remain at the center of the work.
