Goals
The Board of Education for the Glen Cove City School District works in collaboration with the superintendent and exhibits a shared understanding of board roles, board operating procedures, and oversees the district through policy to ensure our mission is fully realized. Our work is focused on providing a healthy and safe learning environment where students can realize their full potential and prepare to become successful citizens within this global society.
As we work together, we continue to use self-assessment tools to monitor and improve the district as a whole. We understand that it is necessary to:
-
Enhance school safety and optimize security;
-
Review and maintain, annually, a 5-year plan for building and infrastructure needs so that it can be accomplished while ensuring that we are fiscally responsible for funds needed for future projects;
-
Enhance the trust within the community and strengthen collaboration with all constituent groups within the community;
-
Approve District Goals that ensure students realize their full potential.
