Today, our Balsz community came together for an empowering morning session with Solution Tree, focused on creating collaborative groups to better support our students. It was inspiring to see educators from across the district working hand in hand, sharing ideas, and building strategies to ensure every student thrives.
In the afternoon, we brought our site leaders back in for an in-depth focus on understanding the role of guiding coalitions in a Professional Learning Community (PLC). These discussions are essential as we continue to strengthen our collaborative efforts and enhance the support we provide to our students.
Together, we’re not just shaping minds—we’re shaping the future. Proud to be part of a district that’s so dedicated to student success! 💪🎓
