As you may know, we have begun the process of updating the
District’s Strategic Plan. The current plan was launched in 2014 and has driven
our improvement over the last four years. We are very proud of the progress we
have made on our goals. You can see our progress, along with some fast facts
about the District, on the District’s Strategic Dashboard.
We are very excited to update the plan to identify our new
goals for the future, which will be developed using feedback from our
stakeholders. We have already conducted focus groups of parents, students,
staff members, community leaders, and Board members. On Tuesday, January 15,
a parent town hall meeting will be held in the Fulton Cafeteria at 6 p.m. If
you are available, I encourage you to attend and share your input. Surveys will
also be sent to make certain we gather information from all of the District’s
stakeholders.
The inclusive, research-based strategic planning process
assures our decisions are based on data rather than intuition. Most
importantly, it helps us create the future of our schools in the image our
stakeholders desire.
We have once again partnered with the ECRA Group to develop
our new strategic plan. ECRA Group is a leader in educational assessment,
research, analytics, and strategic planning, and assisted the District with our
original Strategic Plan.
I will keep you all updated on the strategic planning process,
and look forward to sharing the finished result with you later this year.
