All plans are developed by teams of administrators, teachers, support staff, parents, and community leaders. We also have an ongoing curriculum improvement process. A committee represents each area of the curriculum. There is also a curriculum council that oversees the process and an advisory council that makes recommendations and suggestions for curriculum improvement. The School Board has increased its commitment to staff development by putting more money in the budget for this purpose.
Funds are available for all types of staff to improve their skills and knowledge.
Community Support From the development of our strategic plan to daily volunteer work in schools, parents and other community members play a vital role in the success of our schools. Parents and other local residents serve as school board members and on curriculum committees. They devote many hours to school teams that monitor progress and develop school improvement plans that challenge Bismarck schools to build on our tradition of excellence. Members of the community also serve as speakers, tutors, and mentors. Parents are especially involved in our schools, serving on committees and doing volunteer work.
