Agenda Item Summary: Equity for All 2025 identifies seven key performance indicators (KPIs) that define what success looks like for ACPS. An Equity for All 2025 dashboard is being launched to present our student outcome data through the lens of equity with intentional focus on racial equity. Parallel to our KPI measurement efforts, work continues on the implementation of strategies outlined in the plan designed to positively affect our KPI outcomes. Moving forward, a Strategic Plan Annual Review Committee (SPARC) will help to review and refine the plan as Equity for All was designed to be a living and breathing plan for supporting continuous improvement within the division.
Background: The strategic plan provides a road map to guide the division toward achieving Equity for All by 2025. The strategic plan and related indicators inform the budget priorities, which cascades to inform focus areas for the school year, superintendent evaluation, and school and department improvement plans. All of these components together demonstrate systemic alignment allowing the division to work together toward a shared understanding of the desired outcomes for students.
Starting with the end in mind, seven KPIs were identified by the Strategic Planning Committee to be used to monitor progress with a focus on disparities across student groups. Reported in this memo and attachments are mid-year formative equity indicators. At the end of the school year, summative equity KPI data will be reported. The use of formative indicators will provide the division with interim measures to inform cycles of continuous improvement allowing the division and schools to use KPIs to effect rather than assess change.
Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends that the School Board review this information to inform future budgetary and programmatic decisions.
