Gilbert district highlights culture, literacy, career readiness in improvement plan

Gilbert Public Schools' continuous improvement plan has a new focus on campus culture alongside ongoing efforts to improve literacy, math achievement, graduation outcomes and support for diverse learners.

District administrators told the governing board the plan — now more than two years in development — is intended to guide academic growth and strategic priorities across the district while being continually refined as new data and initiatives emerge.

“We’ve been at this process for a while, now going on two and a half years of the creation of the district continuous improvement plan,” Assistant Superintendent Jared Ryan said. “But it, as so many other things, is continuously changing and moving, and we’re analyzing.”
