The Kenton County Board of Education has established three main goals that serve as areas of concentration and focus for the entire school district. The goals are:
Goal 1 – All students will perform at or above grade level in numeracy and literacy at each transition point.
Goal 2 - All ‘professional practices’ will be based on a common understanding of quality instruction and best practice for every student, in every classroom, every day.
Goal 3 – Beginning in the fourth grade, all students will participate in at least one activity providing a meaningful connection to school beyond the regular classroom each year.
