3.  Blended Personalized Learning initiative to transform education in Syracuse City School District byallowing teachers to use technology to tailor instruction to each student’s strengths, needs and interests.
 
4.  School Turnaround / New School Development / School Choice to infuse more choices into our school system and introduce more high quality options for families as a key strategy for school turnaround.
 
5.  Continued expansion of Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs to address career readiness in projected regional, state and national growth fields and provide cutting-edge instruction, technology, equipment and materials for these programs.
