Vision : All students prepared for post-secondary pathways , careers, and civic engagement. Values: • Ensuring Equity • Collaboration and Service • Achieving Excellence through Continuous Improvement • Focus on the Whole Child Mission: Transform K– 12 education to a system that is centered on closing opportunity gaps and is characterized by high expectations for all students and educators. We achieve this by developing equity-based policies and supports that empower educators, families, and communities. 10/2018 | 4

Equity Statement: Each student, family, and community possesses strengths and cultural knowledge that benefit their peers, educators, and schools. Ensuring educational equity: • Goes beyond equality; it requires education leaders to examine the ways current policies and practices result in disparate outcomes for our students of color, students living in poverty, students receiving special education and English Learner services, students who identify as LGBTQ+, and highly mobile student populations. • Requires education leaders to develop an understanding of historical contexts; engage students, families, and community representatives as partners in decisionmaking; and actively dismantle systemic barriers, replacing them with policies and practices that ensure all students have access to the instruction and support they need to succeed in our schools. 10/2018 | 5

Washingtonians have spoken. . . The Superintendent asked taxpayers to report their education budget priorities. Student Support Services was a clear favorite. What could this mean for the upcoming legislative session? 10/2018 | 6
