Strategic Planning 2024
Map For Future Grounded In Community Values
The Board of Education approved a new strategic plan on May 28 that was developed by a team of 54 residents, staff members, parents, and students.
The team created a Mission, Vision, Core Values, and Portraits that define the characteristics of a learner, staff member, family, and system. Superintendent Dr. Jason Pearson said the team also identified four broad goals and 10 strategies that will set the direction for district and school improvement for the next 3 to 5 years.
The plan is the product of three daylong strategic planning team retreats, a community-wide survey, two community engagement forums, and community feedback at each phase of development over the past five months.
“It is a huge commitment to ask people to give up three full days to come together for this work,” Dr. Pearson said. “It is reflective of the pride our community has for our district to have so many people willing to commit to our entire process.”
Board President Jennifer Gallinson thanked the committee members and everyone who participated in providing feedback on the plan.
Now that the framework is complete, district and school teams will develop action plans and timelines for each of the goals, which will be presented to the board in the fall, Dr. Pearson said.
