WVUSD: 2019/2020 Year-End Results
Preface
Over the past seven years, following a thorough data gathering process, the Walnut Valley
Unified School District Board of Trustees, Superintendent, and staff have established clear areas
of focus for the District, which advance educational excellence and increase opportunities for all
students. In turn, Cabinet and staff have been charged with the responsibility of further
developing and implementing these areas of focus through specific goals and objectives, as well
as reporting the progress made in reaching these goals at our annual Year-End Review.
During the past year (and for the seventh consecutive year), the Walnut Valley Unified School
District concentrated on four areas of focus. Two years ago, a fifth area of focus was added. All
focus areas directly and positively influence our overarching Mission … “KIDS FIRST – Every
Student, Every Day.” Each focus area is listed below with the corresponding goal for easy
reference.
• Student Achievement – Ensure all students are College and Career Ready by providing
rigorous, engaging, and innovative preschool through 12 th grade teaching and learning
experiences.
• Strengthening Relationships – Develop, maintain, and strengthen relationships based
upon trust, respect, communication, and collaboration among colleagues, students,
parents, and community members.
• Fiscal Stability – Support generations to come by building and renovating facilities that
support best practices for teaching and learning, inspiring our students to achieve their
educational goals, and exceeding our communities’ expectations for superior business
services. In light of increasing financial uncertainty, we must ensure our ability to deliver
efficient, responsive, and capable services to our students and staff for years to come.
• Leadership Development – Develop and expand leadership capacity throughout and at
all levels of the organization.
• Safety and Wellness – Strengthen the physical safety, social awareness, and emotional
wellness of all Walnut Valley students, staff, and community members.
The following WVUSD 2019/2020 Year-End Results publication reflects the diligent efforts of
staff to provide a status report to the Board of Trustees and community on the District’s continual
efforts to meet the goals and accompanying objectives in each of the areas of focus.
Compliments to the Board of Trustees and all Leadership Team members for their input,
reflections, and assessment of this past year. The report includes a brief introduction, a detailed
summary focused on each of the goals, supporting objectives, and recommendations for future
focus.
Commendations to our Leadership Team for both its contributions and participation in a very
successful school year. Cabinet, division directors, and site administrators would like to express
our sincere appreciation to the Board of Trustees for its guidance, collaboration, and support.
We believe that through the Board’s leadership we have, once again, crafted a sound monitoring
practice designed to provide a clear direction and mutual vision for the future of the Walnut Valley
Unified School District.
