Do you have any specifc plans to continue to attract teachers to this district, especially teachers of color, and teachers who speak another language?

We are very proud that this year we recruited more educators who are bilingual and refect the demographics of our students. This is the result of our strategic priority to recruit Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC).

We also focus on retaining our BIPOC staf by partnering with a few higher education organizations to support their pursuit of a teaching or administrative license and to continue their own professional development.

How will you know when Malden High School has achieved success? What are you looking for to defne this?

There are several indicators prescribed by DESE to monitor all schools’ progress and accountability standing. These are some examples of the indicators that the DESE uses to determine schools’ accountability level: MCAS results, attendancechronic absenteeism, MassCore course completion, dropout and graduation rate, as well as increase students’ academic growth and performance.

We have eleven years of comparative accountability data that shows that in the last 10 years, our high school has not moved from its 17% accountability status. This year the school moved to 19% and improved the MCAS par- ticipation rate from 68% to 98%. We continue to work closely with the school administration, faculty, and staf to make sure that our accountability ranking and student achievement continues to improve.
