I am thrilled to share some exciting news with you, the CMSD district has achieved an accountability rating of 'B' for the first time in history. This remarkable accomplishment not only marks a significant milestone for the district but also reflects the hard work and dedication of all stakeholders alike.
This milestone is more than just a grade; it reflects our significant progress in providing a high-quality education for all our students. The district has undertaken numerous initiatives to enhance educational quality and student outcomes. From implementing new teaching strategies and curricula to investing in professional development and student support services, every step taken has contributed to this success.
This ‘B’ rating is a testament to the dedication and hard work of everyone in our community. It represents the culmination of last year’s hard work to ensure our students were successful. We are thrilled to see our commitment to being student-centered and excellence-driven recognized in this way.
The ‘B’ rating also represents a new benchmark for our district. It signals to students, parents, and the broader community that the district is on an upward trajectory, with a clear vision for continuous improvement. While this achievement is cause for celebration, it also charts the direction for future long-term success beyond my tenure as superintendent. As CMSD embraces the theme "Looking to the Future," It is clear the district is not just preparing students for the challenges of tomorrow, but actively shaping the future of our community. Through Explicit Direct Instruction (EDI), career preparation, social-emotional learning, a focus on personalized learning, and community involvement, the district is laying a strong foundation grounded in the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic.
To celebrate this significant milestone, the district will host a grand, district-wide celebration featuring a parade on October 17, 2024. Please stay tuned for specific details.
