Three areas of focus

Over the last couple of years our district has invested in reading training and curriculum for our entire district. We are set up to make a real impact for our students. Our educators have professional expertise in culinary, technical education, video production, advanced courses and so much more, giving our students access to incredible opportunities.

We are aligned around the vision of meeting each student where they are and helping them reach their potential. We have much to celebrate. We are not perfect, but we are striving.

This is our school district as a community. We celebrate together. We solve problems together. We take on our challenges together. We are capable of coming together as a team to collaborate and support the district. Fostering trust and communication will be key components to acting as One Brainerd.

We cannot rely on the state to be consistent or predictable with funding. We will need to get creative in how we solve our budget conundrum with the rising prices for staffing resources, products, and services on a likely-flat budget. Strategic planning will help us prioritize where we want to invest.
