Goals and Guardrails

 

Measuring Progress of the Goals & Guardrails

Ensuring progress on implementing the strategic plan is essential.

We will monitor progress on our district goals and guardrails by reporting district performance on a series of interim measures on an established cadence over the next five years. This is the primary method for tracking toward the goal achievement in five years; these reports are publicly available by clicking on this tab. We will monitor our progress on the strategic plan, the “roadmap” toward the goals, through internal monitoring routines throughout the school year and will issue a yearly District Annual Report that shares progress on an annual basis.  Status updates will be provided to the Board of Education, as needed and appropriate

Goals and Guardrails

The 2024-29 Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools goals and guardrails are determined by the Board of Education. They reflect the vision and values of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg community. The goals and guardrails are appropriately focused on student outcomes - that is ultimately the focus for all of us. For more details about specific, detailed targets and timeline for implementation please refer to the 2024-25 District Annual Plan.

The Superintendent shall not allow an unsafe environment in schools, at school-related events, or on transportation.

The Superintendent shall not neglect social-emotional support; character development support; attendance support; or access to enrichment activities that successfully engage students.

While ensuring all schools have teachers equipped to deliver high-quality instruction, the Superintendent shall neither neglect targeted nor comprehensive strategies for teacher recruitment, retention, and engagement.
