30 | ACTON-BOXBOROUGH REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT
Looking Ahead to 2022–2023
As we prepare for this upcoming school year we are looking forward to continuing our efforts in several areas, as well as anticipated changes and developments within our District. OPENING OF THE BOARDWALK CAMPUS We are excited for the opening of our newest school building, the Boardwalk Campus , which will house the Gates School, Douglas School, and Huebner Pre-School. It will also be a new space for other school community activities. NEW DISTRICT LEADERSHIP We are welcoming 14 new administrators to our District, including five assistant principals, three special education coordinators, a director for K12 Physical Education, a director for K12 Visual arts, and our District’s DEI Director. NEGOTIATIONS WITH ABEA, OSA, AND AFSCME We are scheduled to engage in contract negotiations with our three labor unions repre- senting our educators, office support staff, and custodial staff. These negotiations will begin in the Fall of 2022. DEVELOPMENT OF FY23 BUDGET The District will be working closely with town boards and officials to develop a proposed budget for the 2023–2024 school year, anticipating several ongoing factors that present structural challenges and limitations to additional revenue.
AREAS OF FOCUS IN OUR IMPROVEMENT PLAN 1. Social-Emotional Learning, Mental and Behavioral Health Improve social-emotional and mental and behavioral health outcomes for students by shifting our environments, practices and supports so that students can more effectively access learning and cultivate constructive relationships. 2. Improved and Equitable Academic Outcomes Improved academic outcomes for literacy and mathematics for all students in grades K-8, with particular emphasis on students from underserved subgroups including students who are black, Latinx, multilingual learners and/or who receive special education services. 3. Culturally Responsive Practices Improve students’, staff, and families’ sense of belonging by strengthening school culture and climate, diversifying the professional staff, and inten- tionally implementing culturally- responsive instructional practices and materials.
