and a chart showing Action Steps Identified by Critical Issue, Other Initiatives, Priority, and Board Feedback.

PLANNING PROCESS:

Throughout the planning process, the district's goal has been to ensure a broad range of stakeholder input into the development of the plan and to be transparent. Over 100 individuals were involved in the two phases of the planning process from January – April 2009, separate from the approximately 80 persons who provided feedback at the four community sessions in March and April.

On June 15, the Board of Education began its work on the Plan.

Community Engagement Sessions

Four Community Engagement Sessions were held so that citizens could learn about and give feedback on the draft of the Strategic Plan.

Notes from Sessions:
