As teachers are ‘expected to do more,’ Mitchell district wants staff feedback via survey

MITCHELL — The Mitchell Board of Education reaffirmed its focus on district goals Monday night, voting unanimously to make a trio of topics the focus of improvements for the 2026-27 school year. The vote came at the regular meeting of the board of education Monday night, Nov. 9 on the campus of Mitchell Technical College. The three topics approved by the board Monday night included engaging learners and focus in the classroom, investing in district facilities and taking stock of the staff voice via a structured feedback project. All three goals were originally discussed informally at a board planning meeting back in October. The board vote officially sets those goals in motion. Engaging district learners and improving focus in the classroom will involve reducing classroom-disruption office referrals 20% compared to the 2025-26 baseline by a deadline of May 2027. This will involve implementing district-wide positive behavior expectations and tiered supports.
