SCSD Plan for Excellence 2030

Every forward-thinking organization needs a long range plan. Over the past year, district leaders engaged dozens of parents, teachers, students, and community members in a process to discover their hopes and aspirations for the future of the Somers Central School District. The result is the SCSD Plan for Excellence 2030. Listen to this episode of our Tusker Talk podcast to learn more about the development of the plan, and one of the key elements, 21st Century Knowledge and Skills. Superintendent Ray Blanch, Claire Comerford (Director of Learning - Secondary), and Liz Turner (Director of Learning - Elementary) discuss who participated in developing the plan, the goals and aspirations that evolved, and how the International Baccalaureate Programme is woven throughout.
