DISTRICT PARTNERSHIP ACTION PLAN TO BE UNVEILED

Implementation of this action plan, designed to improve teaching, learning, administration and leadership throughout the Creighton School District, will begin in November.

This intensive effort is designed to improve achievement for all district students. The Governing Board Meeting begins at 7:00 p.m. in the Creighton District Office, 2702 E. Flower Street.
