Progress has been made implementing the Global Learning Competencies into the EduPlanet 21 curriculum platform. These competencies will be intentionally embedded within performance assessments to track and indicate student progress towards achieving the established competencies. This approach shapes the path for every student, pre-K through 12th grade, to have a digital portfolio that reflects their success in meeting the expectations of the district's Global Learning Competencies.
The district is prepared to engage in a facilities master plan study to provide a strategic framework for optimizing resources, planning for growth, and creating optimal learning environments while ensuring the safety and security of schools.
Districtwide public address systems were upgraded, replacing outdated technology and allowing integration with the Verkada security system.

Security access control measures were updated by installing new access control card readers on doors throughout the district. This measure enhances the safety and security of the buildings and provides increased monitoring and accountability.
The district is engaged in an energy conservation project aimed at providing several energy performance projects in conjunction with the installation of a new roof at Branford High School.

It represents a proactive and impactful way for us to contribute to minimizing our carbon footprint while enhancing the learning environment for students and staff. These efforts also support the Board of Education’s resolve to energy savings and environmental consciousness.
