Education Committee prioritizes key goals including superintendent search and sustainable budget

The Beaverton School District is set to focus on two critical priorities for the upcoming academic year: finding a new superintendent and establishing a sustainable budget. During the School Board Retreat held on August 26, 2025, board members emphasized the urgency of these goals, recognizing the limited timeframe available to achieve them.

The discussion highlighted the need to prioritize initiatives effectively, as the board has only eight to nine months to implement their plans. This year, the board aims to streamline its objectives, moving from three goals to a more manageable number that can realistically be accomplished within the school year.

The search for a new superintendent is particularly pressing, as leadership stability is essential for the district's success. Alongside this, developing a sustainable budget will ensure that resources are allocated efficiently to support educational programs and services.

As the board works to refine its goals, the focus remains on actionable outcomes that will benefit students and the community. The decisions made in this retreat will shape the direction of the Beaverton School District in the coming months, underscoring the importance of effective leadership and financial planning in education.
