As D91 strives to create High Reliability Schools to ensure ALL students are successful, the board recently passed a HRS/PLC Resolution. The High Reliability Schools or HRS framework is built on three big ideas: 1. Relentless focus on student learning, skill by skill, student by student; 2. A creative collaborative culture to create and achieve common goals and 3. Passionate and persistent focus on results and improve learning for ALL students. The framework has 5 levels -- 1. Safe, Supportive & Collaborative Culture, 2. Effective Teaching In Every Classroom, 3. Guaranteed & Viable Curriculum, 4. Standards-Referenced Reporting & 5. Mastery-Based Education. Learn more about the HRS journey here.

As part of this work, Cooperative Strategies will update the recommendations presented to the board in 2019, review enrollment projections and analyze current school boundaries. See the proposal.

Our focus is on opening schools and operating as close to normal as possible, while still taking steps to mitigate risks and reduce the spread of COVID-19 in our buildings and our community. D91's Going Back To School Plan considers input received from parents, patrons, students and staff over the last year. It incorporates guidance from health officials and was reviewed by school administrators and the IFEA, which represents our teachers and certified staff. The plan is a living document and will be updated and revised as needed. COVID Response Plan. COVID Data.
