Clear Creek Independent School District

Clear Creek ISD: 2012-13 Superintendent Targets

As a school district committed to continuous improvement, the Board of Trustees annually approves a set of targets. These Superintendent Targets are measurable milestones we need to achieve during the school year. We value this process as every year we set the standard higher and expand our own expectations of students and staff. The Superintendent Targets approved by the Board of Trustees during the October General Meeting establish the framework to achieve our five year Strategic Plan. These are ambitious and attainable targets. In partnership with teachers, administrators, parents and community members, the District underwent an extensive long range planning process to develop our five year Strategic Plan. This plan is more than a document; it is our promise to you.
