District adopts a five-year plan with the goal that every school earns a "Green" state rating by 2030-31
What happened
The board received a new strategic plan built with the consulting group TNTP. It sets four priorities: academic success for all, community engagement, pathways after graduation, and stronger central office processes. The first goal is for every East Otero school to reach the top "Green" state rating by 2030-31 and for reading and math scores to pass the state average.
Why it matters to families
Most schools now rate below the top level. The plan names the steps the district will use, including common high-quality reading and math materials and weekly teacher team planning.
The evidence
The plan lists Goal 1.A (all schools earn the highest rating on Colorado's School Performance Framework by 2030-31) and Goals 1.B and 1.C (above state average in reading, writing and math on CMAS and P/SAT). The February 23 agenda shows the $78,616 TNTP planning contract paid with grant funds, and the August 24 agenda shows $160,000 in TNTP contracts for the Intermediate and Jr/Sr High schools.
