Key Outcomes of the Future Ready Priority
SD 308 is preparing students for the future by expanding digital skills, career exploration, and college readiness. A new K-12 digital literacy plan will teach media, AI, and online safety skills. Career exploration will start earlier in elementary school, and high school students will have more opportunities to earn college credit and gain real-world experience through career pathways and industry partnerships. The district will also review and update courses to match future job opportunities. These efforts ensure students graduate ready for college, careers, and life.
