The Beecher Community School District Leadership Team recently concluded a highly productive two-day Leadership Retreat focused on strengthening district systems, leadership, and collaboration to support student success. Team members engaged in meaningful discussions surrounding Human Resources, Grants, Finance, Pupil Accounting, Legal Updates, Maintenance, Custodial Services, Security, MTSS, Focus Room, Restorative Practices, MERT, and Parking Lot discussions, while also reflecting on leadership growth and district priorities.
A highlight of the retreat was the in-depth team building and leadership development sessions facilitated by Carlos Johnson of Revolutionize Schools and Classrooms, which reinforced the power of collaboration, communication, and shared vision. Additional presentations from Maryjo Thrun, Jeremy Linne and Lauren Berkley of GPS Solutions provided valuable insights and guidance to help move the district MTSS initiatives forward.
Attendees included Dr. Jendayi Gardner, Ms. Lashema Marble, Mr. Lance Sumpter, Ms. Elayashia Kendall, Mr. Alfred Cook, Mr. Deonta Wells, Mrs. Michelle Woodley, Mr. Tyrone McCloud, Mr. John Jenkins, Mr. Terrelle Daniel, Ms. Lisa Fields, Nerita Adams-Spillers , Eric Cooper and Mr. Roger Dellar. Together, this dedicated leadership team demonstrated a strong commitment to continuous improvement and excellence for Beecher students, staff, and families.
The retreat was not only informative but fun. Breaking bread together allows a bond that builds trust and communication. GO BUCS
