Subject: Board Consideration to Approve District Goals.

Board Action X
Board Information
Scheduled report
During a school board work session held in late September, the school board members
elevated three objectives to the forefront of their priorities for the 2023-2024 academic year:
conducting a preschool feasibility assessment, tending to student mental health, and
enhancing the school district's social media presence and website user-friendliness.
Additionally, I have proposed the inclusion of a goal aimed at addressing chronic
absenteeism.
A comprehensive list of these goals can be found on the subsequent pages.
25
2023-24 District Goals:
Goal: Preschool Feasibility Study for Mitchell School District
Specific: The goal is to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study to assess the viability of
establishing a preschool within the Mitchell School District.
Measurable: The feasibility study will include key metrics such as projected enrollment
numbers, estimated startup costs, potential revenue streams, an analysis of the competitive
environment specific to the Mitchell School District, and the research related to preschool
programs.
Achievable: The necessary resources, including financial, human, and time, will be allocated to
complete the feasibility study over a two-year period. Relevant experts and stakeholders within
the Mitchell School District will be consulted to ensure accurate data and insights.
Relevant: Starting a preschool in the Mitchell School District aligns with the educational goals
and needs of the community. Additionally, there is a demonstrated demand for quality early
childhood education in this area.
Time-bound: The feasibility study will be completed by Nov. 3, 2025, allowing for a
comprehensive and well-researched analysis tailored to the Mitchell School District.
Goal: Addressing Student Mental Health:
Specific: Implement a comprehensive mental health support program that includes targeted
interventions, resources, and awareness campaigns to address the well-being of students in the
Mitchell School District.
Measurable: Conduct regular assessments of student well-being using validated tools and track
key indicators such as attendance, behavior, and academic performance to gauge the
effectiveness of the program.
Achievable: Collaborate with local mental health professionals, community organizations, and
parents to develop and implement evidence-based strategies tailored to the unique needs of
Mitchell School District students.
Relevant: Prioritizing student mental health contributes to a safe, nurturing, and inclusive
learning environment, ultimately enhancing academic success and overall well-being.
Time-bound: Launch the program in the upcoming academic year, with ongoing monitoring and
evaluation to ensure sustained progress and effectiveness.
Goal: Addressing Chronic Absenteeism:
Specific: Implement a targeted absenteeism reduction program that identifies at-risk students,
provides tailored interventions, and establishes clear communication channels with parents and
guardians in the Mitchell School District.
26
Measurable: Track absenteeism rates on a monthly basis and utilize data to identify trends and
patterns. Aim to achieve a 5% reduction in chronic absenteeism within the first year of program
implementation.
Achievable: Collaborate with teachers, school staff, and community partners to implement
evidence-based strategies and interventions. Allocate resources for additional support staff and
implement a system for early intervention.
Relevant: Reducing chronic absenteeism creates a positive impact on student engagement,

academic achievement, and overall well-being. It contributes to a more inclusive and successful
learning environment.
Time-bound: Launch the absenteeism reduction program at the beginning of the upcoming
school year and conduct regular progress assessments to evaluate the effectiveness of
interventions. Aim to achieve a 5% reduction in chronic absenteeism within the first year.
Goal: Improving District Website and Social Media Presence:
Specific: Enhance the Mitchell School District's online presence by revamping the district
website for improved user-friendliness, accessibility, and updating social media channels with
relevant, engaging content.
Measurable: Conduct a usability assessment of the district website, measuring factors such as
page load times, navigation efficiency, and user feedback. Track website traffic, engagement
metrics, and social media followership. Aim for an establishment of MSD sponsored social media
presence within the first year.
Achievable: Allocate budget for website development and maintenance, as well as resources for
content creation and social media management. Engage a web developer and social media
coordinator to ensure effective execution.
Relevant: A polished online presence is essential for effective communication with parents,
students, and the community. It fosters transparency, engagement, and accessibility to
important district information.
Time-bound: Initiate the website revamp and social media content plan within the next six
months. Conduct regular assessments and aim to achieve a social media presence within the
first year.

Agenda Item
Subject: Board Consideration to Approve the “4 to 1 Student Teaching Opportunity”

Board Action X
Board Information
Scheduled report
In order to tackle the issue of securing high-quality substitute teachers, I am proposing the “4
to 1 Program”. This initiative would afford Mitchell School District student teachers the choice
to participate or abstain from a program in which they engage in four days of student
teaching and one day of substitute teaching per week. Although the MSD presently allows
student teachers to act as substitutes, this program offers the district and the substitute
teacher the advantage of advance planning. Essentially, it guarantees the availability of a
substitute teacher every Friday (or another assigned day) throughout the semester.
Those who opt in would assume the role of a district substitute teacher on the same day
every week. While they may substitute in various classrooms within the district, it would only
be for one day per week during their student teaching period. This arrangement would
provide student/substitute teachers with a source of income, enhance the pool of qualified
substitute candidates, and potentially serve as a recruitment tool for future educators.

WELCOME
Future educators- Welcome to our district! Our team is

committed to supporting you every step of the way. As you
prepare for a career that makes a difference, our district will
provide real-world experience, individualized support, and
access to top-tier teaching methods. Each of you brings
unique talents and fresh perspectives to our caring
community. We look forward to learning alongside you.
Why the 4 to 1 Progam?

Through the Student Teacher 4 to 1 Program each student
teacher will have an increased set of skills based on different
classroom environments and school-building opportunities.
Our goal for future teachers is to take advantage of this
model. Through this program student teachers receive
different methods for content delivery, experience multiple
classroom management strategies, and build connections
with students and colleagues.

PROGRAM
The 4 to 1 program is an initiative that would afford
Mitchell School District student teachers the choice to
participate or abstain from the program in which they
engage in four days of student teaching and one day
of substitute teaching per week. Those who opt in
would assume the role of a district substitute teacher
on the same day every week. While they may
substitute in various classrooms within the district, it
would be only for one day per week during their
