Chautauqua Lake developed its district goals through a collaborative process that included representatives from administration, elementary and secondary teachers, special area teachers, support staff, students, parents and coaches.  The goals have been reviewed and approved by the Chautauqua Lake Board of Education.  The district's goals set the foundation for our annually established building-level priorities and individualized faculty and staff goals.
