Overall Comments:  At the end of the day, effective instruction is the first and foremost goal and responsibility of any school district.  Mrs. Driver’s personal instructional leadership and collaboration with the district instructional administrators, principals, curriculum coaches, teachers and instructional assistants is reaping significant gains and opportunities for our students.  CCES being ranked as a Green School in two of the last three years shows consistent achievement and growth.  CCMS being ranked as a Blue or Green School in two of the last three shows consistent achievement and growth.  CCHS going from an Orange School to a Green School in one year shows a strong commitment to rapid improvement.  Mrs. Driver is truly a strong leader in all 7 standards.  Ms. Driver continues to establish herself as one of the most effective superintendents in our School District’s history and she has some extremely stiff competition. It is an honor for our Board to serve our students, staff, families and community with her.
