PRIORITY To meet the needs

of all students in the Zion

Elementary School District, it

is critical that operations and

finance align with Board policy,

and represent excellence and

transparency. Each department

will be appraised to determine

how they maximize support

and services to schools using a

continuous improvement model.

Additionally, we will assess the

quality of facilities and related

plans.

ACTION STEPS

resources, and budget, including use of ESSR funds and how local, state, and

federal grants are being utilized and evaluated.

5.2 Review the district’s fund balance, financial projections, resource allocation

and budgeting processes; assess how the district’s budget and budget process

are aligned to support student achievement.

5.3 Conduct meetings with the district’s legal team to review any recent/current

legal proceedings or outstanding judgments against the district and to provide

a briefing on state education code with attention to statutes currently impacting

or likely to impact the district.

determine alignment with improving student achievement guided by the Goals

and Guardrails and the facilities planning process.
