A few Board comments and highlights, all of which can be found in the linked document:

As we close out his fourth year at the helm, we are grateful for the impressive progress that has been made under Superintendent Guerrero’s student-centered leadership. With wide-ranging, ambitious improvement plans well under way, PPS is poised to become the District our students deserve...

The Superintendent’s management of PPS as an organization is very strong. In his short tenure, he has created or completely overhauled many of the District’s essential systems and is committed to continuous improvement...

A teacher at heart, Superintendent Guerrero’s leadership for change is most apparent in the dramatic improvements made to the curriculum and instructional infrastructure in the District…

The Board shares optimism about our efforts at transforming equitable opportunities and outcomes for students…

These improvement efforts are grounded in racial equity and social justice and employ targeted universalism, an approach that sets universal targets and then uses strategies targeted to improve outcomes for all students, but focusing on the most underserved groups. Though it is still early days, graduation rates continue to increase, especially for most BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) student groups, and some assessment data suggest that the District’s improvement efforts are starting to pay off…

Under these extraordinary pandemic circumstances, we believe the Superintendent and his team did an excellent job dealing with the unprecedented challenges posed by Covid, keeping staff and students safe, and managing all the operational details involved in virtual education and hybrid reopening with an unwavering focus on supporting our students and families.
