What this document actually says

This document outlines Reed Union School District's strategic plan goals for 2025-26 across six pillars: Academic Excellence, Social-Emotional Learning, Staff, Community & Families, Facilities & Infrastructure, and Finance. Academic goals include raising CAASPP test scores (82% ELA, 80% Math, 72% Science) and MAP scores. Social-emotional goals target reducing chronic absenteeism to 8% and increasing student engagement to 75% on YouthTruth surveys. The plan includes improving student leadership opportunities (70% at Bel Aire, 55% at Del Mar), doubling food service participation, and enhancing family communication satisfaction. Infrastructure goals include selecting new student information and data management systems by March 2026, conducting a bond feasibility survey by December 2025, and maintaining a balanced budget with 33.5% reserves in 2025-26, declining to 21.5% by 2027-28.

What this means for your family

This plan sets measurable goals affecting your child's daily experience: higher academic achievement targets, more student leadership opportunities, improved school meal participation, and enhanced safety. You'll see better communication through new technology tools and more family engagement surveys. The district plans to conduct a bond survey to potentially fund facility improvements. Budget reserves will decline over three years, which may impact future spending decisions.
