During the 2022-2023 academic year, SCSD has collaborated with its community and collected input from Trustees, leadership, teachers, staff, parents, students and community partners to inform the refresh of the Strategic Plan.

At the June 15, 2023 meeting, the Board adopted the new Vision, Learner Profile and Success Indicators of the Strategic Plan. The Design Team will next work with SCSD teachers, leadership, and community to develop action plans for each. Details about plan development and rollout were also shared in the presentation.

We are excited to report that SCSD received two Kent Awards from the San Mateo County School Boards Association for our efforts in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging, as well as our Tierra Linda Speech & Debate Club. Awards are given to outstanding and innovative programs either in the classroom or outside the classroom as well as district-wide programs.

SCSD has also been recognized and awarded $200,000 grant as part of the California Department of Education's Anti-Bias Education Grant Program. In the past 3 years, SCSD's Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) initiative has met many goals established by the Steering Committee to elevate the diversity in our community and close opportunity and equity gaps. The three-year grant will help support the ongoing work, including supporting the position of a Community Liaison for family engagement.
