• AE: School District Goals and Objectives

    Policy

    CMSD is dedicated to ensuring that all Cleveland public education students have a high-quality, equitable education in schools that inspire joy in learning.

    Educational equity is defined as: Every student gets the services, resources, connections, and learning opportunities they need to realize their full potential, regardless of who they are or where they live. Educational equity must be intentionally co-created and continually revisited by members of the larger Cleveland community, including students, families, teachers, and school staff.

    There are five pillars towards achieving this goal:

    • Grow the number of students attending high-quality public district and public charter schools in every neighborhood in Cleveland
    • Ensure all school leaders are empowered with the resources, supports, and authority necessary to equitably meet the needs of their school community
    • Invest and phase in innovative programs and equitable best practices across all public district and public charter schools to help all students thrive from birth through college and career

    Through the Cleveland Transformation Alliance, ensure fidelity to and equitable community engagement with this plan for all public district and public charter schools in the city

    Embed organizational and educational equity principles and activities that are replicable and measurable for all public district and public charter schools in the city
