Board Goals & Meetings - Lower Yukon School District

Literacy and Math

Focused training will continue to yield high retention rates and increase the percentage of students meeting or exceeding their math/reading growth goals each year (90%+ by 2028).

Social Emotional Learning (SEL)

LYSD aims for 80% or higher student safety scores in grades 3-5 and grades 6-12, according to the School Climate and Connectedness Survey (public data link here).

Graduation

The Board wants to achieve an annual graduation rate of 80% or better, with a 90% graduation rate by 2028 for the district’s schools and its students.

Attendance

The Board recognizes that student achievement cannot occur if students do not regularly attend school. For this reason, the Regional School Board aims to achieve an attendance rate of 90% or better annually.
