Wayland Town Crier 10/14/16: ‘UNITED’ in new school goals. Superintendent Paul Stein described six new district goals at a forum last week, using the acronym UNITED to guide the district forward and help prioritize strategic initiatives. “In this year of (political) discord, we’re focusing on being united, united around these goals,” said Stein. “The purpose of having district-wide goals is so that you can leverage your resources well, and so your efforts are not scattered.” The new goals replace those that have guided the district for the past five years, referred to as HEART, an acronym that encompassed health, evaluation, response to intervention and technology learning.
