Dear SMUSD Community,

After several months listening, reading, learning, analyzing qualitative/quantitative data, obtaining input from key stakeholders, and with guidance from our Board of Education, I have identified four district focus areas that will drive our work. These focus areas place the success of each and every SMUSD student at the forefront and provide a coherent lens of alignment and direction for our district, departments, and school sites.

They include:

Focus Area: Student Achievement

Focus Area: District Culture

Focus Area: Fiscal Stability and Facilities

Focus Area: Communication

I look forward to our continued partnership ensuring SMUSD is a place #whereexcellenceisthenormforall!

My best,
Carmen
