• Updated Board of Education Goals were approved in November 2023. 

    While the three goal areas—Instructional, Resources and School Climate—remained the same, the action steps and monitoring tools did not. The updated plan will align the district's goals with the Michigan Integrated Continuous Improvement Process, referred to as MICIP (sounds like my kip). MICIP is a targeted approach and pathway used by districts to improve student outcomes by assessing whole child needs to develop plans and coordinate funds.

    Here are the changes in more detail:

    Instructional Goal

    New: Davison Community Schools will operate as a cohesive system to provide engaging curriculum, instruction, intervention and assessment to improve student achievement each year as measured by local assessments, state assessments and graduation rates.

    Old: All students will achieve academic success through quality instruction and support.

    The goal measures include:

    • increase in growth and achievement for Grades K-8 assessment (benchmark and state)
    • increase in proficiency year-to-year for high school state assessment
    • graduation rate (4-year-cohort) of 90 percent

    Resource Goal

    New: Davison Community Schools will uphold the highest standards of operational reliability, financial integrity and transparency while simultaneously striving to maximize the district's resources to their fullest to guarantee the fiscal stability and long-term sustainability of our district.
