What are Cadres?

You may have heard that the district administrative structure was reorganized over the summer. The purpose of the reorganization was to give schools more hands-on support.

What does this change mean for me?

Most employees won’t see major changes. The biggest difference is that Learning Communities have been eliminated. Schools have been placed in smaller groupings based on grade level, not geography. Each cadre is headed by a Principal Leader.

How will this work?

Each Principal Leader will have a diverse group of schools. A smaller group of Executive Leaders will help ensure consistency between cadres. Career and Technical Education, https://twitter.com/SunBlazeOCPS/ status/1690767500693196800

This post on X (formerly known as Twitter) was out of this world! Sun Blaze Elementary School recently showed off its newly painted, space-themed hallway leading students to the 4th and 5th grade classrooms! When students and teachers walk down the hall, it feels like they are walking through the solar system while being greeted by friendly aliens and rocket ships.

Exceptional Student Education and the School Transformation Office each have their own specialized cadres.

What cadre is my school in?

You can check your school’s cadre assignment on the OCPS web site. Under Schools, choose “Find My Cadre.”

How do parents get help with an issue?

For most issues, help will still start with the teacher and the school. If not resolved at the school level, parents may bring concerns to the district office at 407-317-3202 or via email at letstalk@ocps.net
