    ABOUT US


Welcome to the Education Services Department! Our work centers on empowering educators and students through strategic, data-driven support that fosters belonging, academic excellence, and inspiring environments. Guided by asset-based language and structures like Multi-Tiered Systems of Support, we prioritize the needs of multilingual learners and students with learning differences. From foundational literacy and writing standards to creating lessons that remove barriers, we use continuous improvement cycles and data to drive progress. With initiatives like Community Reads and core values rooted in social justice, we are committed to creating inclusive, equitable schools where every student thrives.
