Puyallup’s Theory of Action reflects the fundamental beliefs of the district around what will lead to long-term success for students.

If district leadership distributes resources in alignment with strong district priorities and values, including

• - Allocating resources according to criteria based on school needs, size, and goals;
• - Providing support and accountability from the district office;
• - Giving school leaders clear expectations to decide how resources are used within the building for school culture, safety, and strong instructional practices

Then school communities will make positive, sound, and strategic decisions based on school needs, and academic and social-emotional outcomes for students will improve.
