Greetings from the Director of Student Learning and Development

We are delighted you have taken the time to review the information and resources for the Student Learning and Development department’s webpage. The resources compiled here serve the needs of all stakeholders within the D300 community, including our students, families (parents and guardians), and staff. As a district, one of our primary pillars is to ensure that all of our spaces (classrooms, common areas, and community spaces) serve the needs of the Whole Child. Please do not hesitate to contact any team member if there is any additional information we need to include in our resources.  

Board of Education Policy

The Community Unit School District 300 Board of Education is committed to every student's academic, social, and personal success, as well as their growth and development. Our primary goal, as expressed through our mission statement, is: All District 300 learners will participate in engaging, inclusive, and personalized learning experiences to discover, innovate and succeed now and in the future. We believe that every D300 employee plays a role in this process.

The D300 Board of Education recognizes the historical disparities in opportunity and performance among students cultural backgrounds. These disparities are evident in the inconsistency of our graduation rates, inequities in reported incidents of student misconduct, and our standardized achievement profile. However, for D300 to address our broader goal of ensuring the growth of every student (academic, social, and personal), it is imperative that we develop policies and strategies to eliminate or, at the bare minimum, minimize these disparities. We believe our efforts to eradicate these long-standing differences will lead to the widespread growth of all D300 students.

District 300 will continue to explore, modify, and perfect our practices. We seek to foster an educational environment where all students feel a sense of belonging and an opportunity to reach their highest individual potential.

The D300 Board of Education will hold the superintendent, all school and Central Office administrative leadership, and all remaining district staff accountable for their role and contributions toward measurable progress in ensuring these mandates.

The board directs the superintendent to develop action plans with clear accountability and metrics to accomplish these mandates. Updated action plans and progress toward these mandates shall be reported annually to the board through the Strategic Plan process.
