Eight days in, and the theme is clear: the best school communities don't just support their people – they empower them.

Day 8 spotlight: Weld County School District RE-1

This year's TLCC results show a staff with real voice, agency, and ownership in their schools:
▪️ 𝟗𝟒% report a strong professional climate (+𝟕 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 𝐚𝐧𝐝 +𝟗 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞)
▪️ 𝟗𝟐% rate staff leadership favorably (+𝟏𝟒 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 𝐚𝐧𝐝 +𝟏𝟏 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞)
▪️ 𝟗𝟐% rate the staff evaluation process favorably (+𝟏𝟏 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 𝐚𝐧𝐝 +𝟗 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞)

All three categories climbing together. Educators here aren't just showing up – they're contributing, leading, and shaping the direction of their schools.

These data highlight the impact of a focused and committed new leader – the difference Superintendent Kimberly Bloemen has made in just 20 months

Proud to partner with Weld County RE-1.

Six days in, and we keep finding the same thing: when district leadership genuinely shows up for its people, it shows up in the data.

Day 6 spotlight: Delta County School District 50J

The TLCC survey captures whether staff feel supported, satisfied in their roles, and working in an environment that starts at the top.

Delta's school leaders are unambiguous about their district:
▪️𝟗𝟔% rate district support favorably (+𝟕 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐 𝐚𝐧𝐝 +𝟏𝟓 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞)
▪️𝟏𝟎𝟎% say the district provides principals with the support they need (+𝟏𝟎 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒)
▪️𝟏𝟎𝟎% say district leadership takes steps to solve problems and provides timely support

That culture extends outward. Job satisfaction across all staff sits at 𝟕𝟓% – 𝟕 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞. Support for staff wellbeing at 𝟗𝟒%. This isn't a one-year result; it's a pattern built over multiple years of consistent leadership.

Proud to partner with Delta County School District 50(J).

Congratulations to longtime Superintendent Caryn Gibson on her retirement and welcome to incoming Superintendent Amber Clark! You are inheriting something special.
