Strategic Priorities

To achieve our goals, CODE has established three strategic priorities:

1. Advocacy:
We advocate for policies and programs that improve student achievement, ensure safety, and promote well-being. That means working with decision-makers, securing funding, and supporting the recruitment and retention of skilled staff.

2. Leadership
We help members grow as leaders by offering networking, mentorship, professional development, and opportunities to share solutions to community challenges.

3. Equity and inclusion
We promote equity and inclusion to ensure all students learn practical knowledge, job skills, and life skills in safe, supportive environments — no matter who they are.
