During our October convening, convener members voted to approve RTFA’s Strategic Plan. As an alliance, we committed to the following Key Results Areas (KRAs) that give our workgroups and alliance members tangible goals to aim for.
- 2337 kindergarten-age children living in the City of Rochester will be kindergarten ready by September 2027, a 45% increase (or 720 additional) from the 2023 baseline.
- 711 third graders living in the City of Rochester will achieve target reading proficiency by September 2027, a 65% increase (or 299 additional) from the 2023 baseline.
- 511 eighth graders living in the City of Rochester will achieve target math proficiency by September 2027, a 40% increase (or 145 additional) from the 2023 baseline.
- 1583 twelfth graders living in the City of Rochester will graduate by June 2027, a 10% increase (or 138 additional) from the 2023 baseline.
- Parent and youth power is visible and leveraged to achieve improved outcomes for students. Child-serving systems recognize parents as central in the success of their work.
We also ratified our Wildly Important Goal to increase the number of students who benefit from high quality pre-K by summer 2026. To achieve this goal, we will take collective action on the following lead measures: enrollment, attendance, instruction fidelity & curriculum and parent engagement.
