Central Office Support Directory
Central Office Exists to Support Schools
The core purpose of the Central Office is to support schools as we work to improve outcomes for our students. While sometimes there may be different views on the approach to this purpose, every decision that comes from the Central Office is rooted in this core purpose. From assigning substitutes to meet schools needs to ensuring healthy school environments, our work must complement the work happening within our schools every day to reach our vision of all students graduating from high school college, career and lifeready prepared to complete a two-or four-year college degree or workforce certification.
We have developed the Central Office Support Directory to ensure all staff knows where to turn when assistance is needed. As we know, people move around; the directory will be updated regularly. In addition to utilizing this tool for support, Let’s Talk continues to be a resource for immediate help.
Yours in Education
