Strategic Goals/School Board Program of Work for School Year 2007-2008

School Board Program of Work for 2007-2008

How the School Board Develops Its Yearly Work Plan
The School Board hosts an annual retreat for the purpose of development of an annual work plan and affirmation of long-term strategic goals. After the retreat, a draft Program of Work is developed and reviewed again by the Board. The Board then makes what it sees as necessary clarifications or modifications and subsequently adopts the plan. The plan guides academic and operational goals for school division staff. Throughout the year school administration gives progress reports on the achievement of these goals to the School Board.

The School Board Program of work is Built on the Foundation of Virginia Beach City Public Schools' Strategic Plan, Featuring Seven Goals:

• Expanded Instructional Opportunities through Data-Driven Curriculum



• Effective, Efficient Use of Resources to Create Quality Educational Opportunities



• Quality Work Force: Trained and Accountable for Performance



• Recognition of Diversity – Respect for All People



• Safe Schools and Effective, Well-Disciplined Environment



• Technology Integrated into Our Curriculum and Instruction



• Meaningful Involvement of Community, Parents and Partners
