DIANE ALLEN: Looking forward to more progress in 2014-25


By Diane Allen
Superintendent of Schools

Dear Taylor School District Parents and Community Members,

This is always an exciting time of year for me. With the beginning of the 2014-15 school year just around the corner, I am already looking forward to the new challenges and numerous rewards that it will bring.

My plan is to continue to make progress toward positive change. That progress includes being on track to emerge from deficit by June 30, 2015, which would be truly an accomplishment that everyone can be proud of. Also, by that same date, every Taylor School District school will be accredited by AdvancEd NCA. Our schools have been working on meeting all accreditation standards, which will ultimately improve teaching and learning.

Our partnership with Wayne County Community College is growing. This fall we will have approximately 95 juniors and seniors from both high schools attending college classes on the WCCCD campus each afternoon. This is a tuition-free program for our students.

September will mark the opening of our new Early Childhood Academy and Parent Center. It will be a comprehensive center offering preschool classes, parenting classes, play groups, a supplemental nutrition program for women, infants and children and much more. Taylor Schools will be working in collaboration with United Way, The Guidance Center and WIC to support the young learners in our district.

As I hope you will agree, we have a lot to be proud of. There is much yet to accomplish, but we are moving forward. Let’s continue to work together for a successful school year for every student.

"One Team, One Mission"
