Westford School Committee unanimously adopts district improvement plan through 2030

Hosts Alex Svensson and Emily Collins reported that during the April 27 school committee meeting Superintendent Chris Chu presented an updated strategic district improvement plan. The committee voted unanimously to adopt the plan, which the hosts said will guide district priorities, budgeting and school-level improvement efforts through 2030.

The updated plan, as described on air, emphasizes improving communications with families about curriculum and classroom instruction, increasing student engagement, clarifying accountability and reviewing student behavior practices. Reporters said the district incorporated recommendations from the district's special education parent advisory council (CPAC) to broaden language on meaningful participation for all students beyond special education programs.

Committee members — as reported by the hosts — highlighted plans to review restorative-practice approaches, improve transparency around expectations and establish more measurable goals that connect district initiatives to school improvement work. The hosts said the committee unanimously approved the plan; no roll-call vote totals were announced on air.
