Agenda Item Summary: Eighty-six percent of all ACPS 2020 Goal 6 targets were met (6/7) for the 2016-2017 school year. The target was not met for one KPI, representing 14%.
Background: The Board adopted the ‘ACPS 2020’ strategic goals and objectives on June 11, 2015. A Scorecard was developed establishing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for each strategic plan objective. These KPIs are aimed to inform division performance in the specific objective area on an annual basis and ultimately, if ACPS reaches the goal established for school year 2020. On May 20, 2016, the Board was provided with an update to the ACPS 2020 Scorecard, along with documented methodologies regarding how targets were selected.

Reported KPI outcomes for the 2015-16 school year were presented to the Board by goal area from October 2016 through February 2017. After the first year of reporting, an in-depth review was conducted to ensure that KPIs and targets are appropriate in informing stakeholders on division progress. KPI revisions were presented to the Board on April 27, 2017.

The attached document includes Goal 6 results for the 2016-2017 school year and the ultimate targets for 2020 (“ACPS 2020 Goal 6 Scorecard”).
Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends that the School Board review the attached materials for possible planning, procedural, programmatic, and/or budgetary changes.
