The U.S. Department of Labor projects that from 2024 to 2034, STEM employment will grow by about 8.1%, compared with 2.7% for non-STEM jobs. STEM careers also offer significantly higher wages, with median annual earnings around $104,000—more than double the roughly $48,000 median for non-STEM occupations. Mathematics proficiency is a key gateway to many of these highdemand careers.  \nFor school boards, this trend highlights the importance of","cbCaib2hDQYupQ8z","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaib2hDQYupQ8z","pdf",2927238,28,"English","# Introduction\n# Why This Report\n# School Board Roles in HQIM Adoption\n## From Oversight to Outcomes: The Changing Governance Role\n## Vision Leaders\n## Decision-makers\n# Four Priority Areas for School Board Leadership\n## Equity\n## Artificial Intelligence\n## Budget\n## Buy-in\n# HQIM Adoption in Practice: Two Stages and One Key to Success\n## Table 3.
