Innovation, Strategy, and Governance

Overview

The Department of Innovation, Strategy, and Governance (ISG) is a collaboration of several important functions in the district, all of which work together to ensure accountability for our Strategic Plan, performance measures, state expectations, and Board of Education policies. 

  • CCSD is a Charter System, and the ISG Department, led by the Governance Flexibility Specialist, provides support and technical assistance to all Local School Governance Teams, including annual training for all LSGTeam members. 

  • The Director of Strategic Projects works with all departments in improving cross-divisional work with strategic and innovative process improvement solutions. 

  • The Office of Assessment and Accountability ensures all schools have the tools and resources to administer state and local assessments properly. 

  • The Office of Data and Research provides data training and technical assistance to all CCSD staff, manages research partnerships, and tracks and analyzes district and school-level data. 

  • The Office of Information Support Services maintains the integrity of the Student Information System, provides ongoing training and support for all district student information users, and complies with state and federal reporting requirements.
