Building on the strengths and promising practices identified in our 2019 Equity Audit, the six priorities that follow are intended to provide areas of executive focus as the school district develops long-range efforts to build a strong and vibrant system of excellence through equity. These long-range efforts toward equity cannot be considered a "stand-alone" initiatives, but rather, they must be coordinated with and integrate with other school district goals.

• Priority 1: Develop a detailed and comprehensive plan for Excellence Through Equity.
• Priority 2: Assess and provide for resources, including time, talent and funding, to be equitably distributed throughout the district in response to student and faculty/staff needs.
• Priority 3: Establish consistent, high standards for performance by every teacher and for every student that leads to preparation for postsecondary success including college, career and life readiness.
• Priority 4: Provide access for all students to high quality instruction associated with rigorous coursework that engages students in projects and problem solving worthy of the effort required.
• Priority 5: Engage in purposeful communication with students, their families, CSD leaders and faculty/staff, and members of the larger school community for the purpose of learning with and from each other even when those conversations are difficult and uncomfortable. 
• Priority 6: Support ongoing professional learning that is designed and led by teachers for teachers and is guided by the needs of students based on student work samples and formative assessment data.
