School Committee Priorities 2024-2025
On September 12, 2024, the Yarmouth School Committee unanimously adopted the following priorities for the academic year.
Priority 1: School Culture and Climate
a. Continue to support the work of district staff in ensuring authentic practices and policies are in place to provide high-quality academic, personal wellness, and extra-curricular programming with equity of access for all students.
b. Work with the District Leadership Team to promote and further accessibility of existing programs and ensure equitable access for all students.
c. Provide the resources and support necessary to address the response matrix of the Equity Audit, specifically around student safety and staff development.
Priority 2: Programming
a. Consider Program Review items proposed by the DLT and from within the School Committee to ensure continual improvement remains in focus.
b. Support the District Leadership Team as they operationalize Year Three of the Strategic Plan, including expansion of non-traditional pathways to a diploma, professional development addressing equity, and parent/family engagement.
Priority 3: Resources
a. Respond to the FY24 and FY25 audit with suggestions for improving the School Department’s oversight of public funds.
b. Negotiate a fair successor collective bargaining agreement with the Yarmouth Education Association (Teachers).
c. Negotiate a successor collective bargaining agreement with the AFSCME Local 2010 support staff union.
d. Deliberate and approve a thoughtfully crafted, clearly articulated operating budget for the 2026 fiscal year (FY26) that appropriately supports academic and social-emotional development for all students while maximizing efficiencies.
