Mr. Brett McCann presented a detailed look at the district’s Report Card. The district received an overall rating of 4.5 stars on a 5-star scale. There are lots to celebrate and items to focus on for continuous improvement. The district had a 4-star rating from the previous year. The 0.5-star boost results from early literacy improvement from 2-star to 3-star. Growth was seen in all of the buildings. The Streetsboro District did very well compared to other county and statewide districts. The goal is to reach an overall 5-star rating in 2025-2026.
The 1st Annual Bubble Run was a surprising success as a fundraiser. The district will net a little under $25K due to support from staff, parents, students, and the community. The participation rate was exceptional, with over 80% of the student body participating. The funds will be used to enhance playground equipment.
The Quarterly Newsletter has gone to the printers and should be hitting mailboxes next week.

The Strategic Plan is expected to be presented to the Board for approval in April or May.
