District Goals:
​
Our goals are reviewed every year at our annual goal setting retreat (usually in July or August). Although they might be tweaked year after year, they are essentially multi-year goals. From the Board goals, the Superintendent develops goals for the District that are aligned with ours. Our goals mean that the Board supports allocating resources to ensure the success of our goals.
​
-
Health and Safety: Continue to ensure the health and safety of students and staff through policy, procedure, promotion of wellness programs, and facility upgrades that enhance safety and security measures. Seek out and support those who would benefit most from positive behavior programs and mental health supports, and bolster social-emotional programs to protect and support students, staff, and community.
-
Equity: Continue the elimination of systemic racism and lingering white supremacy, and remove access barriers so all students have equal access to rigorous academic programming. Ensure that all races are included in the structure of the district and any attempt or practice to dominate a race or highlight another unfairly will not be tolerated.
​​
-
Staffing: Support current staff through high quality professional development and opportunity for growth while recruiting and sustaining a diverse, high quality workforce.
​​
-
Rigorous Programming: Support policy and programs that address learning gaps, learning recovery, and learning acceleration to assist students in reaching their full learning potential. Identify, engage and support students who show the need for expanded levels of rigor. Continue the expansion of innovative college and career readiness programs.

-
Sustainability and Green Initiatives: Support and create policies to reduce waste and lower energy consumption; foster environmental awareness among staff and students; and encourage the school community to engage in environmentally-sound projects, with each school achieving Sustainable Jersey certification.
-
Community Engagement: Work to further relationships and incorporate a multitude of strategies to connect with and listen to stakeholders in order to celebrate and proactively promote the school district within the community at large and to ensure family engagement of students attending the Franklin Township Public Schools.
