Accomplishments
Increased Services And Human Capital
Developed a fiscal stabilization plan to provide consistent salary increases and training/support for all staff to attract, develop and empower a diverse team who are committed, prepared and most of all connect with our students and families.
It takes a dedicated team and the leadership and support of the Governance Team…watch the NMCUSD video and feel the love and dedication of the team in-service to students, parents and the community.
INCREASED GRADUATION RATES to 91% for HOMELESS/FOSTER YOUTH
Used a comprehensive approach to include a fully staffed Family Resource Center, Student Wellness Center, and coordinated services with partnerships; a true “Community Schools” model was in place with collective impact.
