Please help ECCSS recognize and celebrate these highlights from our ECCSS Board of Education (BOE) work session and meeting this month! Dr. Bobby Costlow, ECCSS Human Resources Officer, and LaMaudice Holmes, ECCSS Chief Financial Officer, shared strengths, opportunities for growth, and metrics for the next sections of our draft of the updated district strategic plan. Both Dr. Costlow and Ms. Holmes emphasized the strengths and celebrations based on goals from our previous plan and feedback from last year's Town Hall Meetings and school sessions. Also, presentations focused on elements to improve or continue to grow and how we plan to monitor progress. Schools will share these updates with staff, School Governance Teams, and other stakeholders, and ECCSS will continue to seek feedback as we fine-tune our updated district plan. Our next district strategic plan share-out is focused on Parent, Family, and Community Engagement, and it's scheduled for the November 2nd BOE work session. We invite and welcome all interested stakeholders to join us! #SchoolFamilyCommunityCollaboration #DistrictStrategicPlan
