This document, updated on June 4, is a summary of community feedback from a variety of meetings and discussions, as well as e-mails and comment cards. In addition to being considered for the updated Strategic Plan, this input will be vital as strategies are implemented.

June 4, 2008 - Strategic Plan Framework - Excellence for All - Adopted by School Board

On June 4 the School Board voted unanimously to adopt the Strategic Plan proposed by Superintendent Goodloe-Johnson, "Excellence for All." The plan, detailed appendices, and a PowerPoint presentation are provided below. The plan was developed based on hundreds of interviews and meetings with internal and external stakeholders, peer review and diagnostic research, and surveys of instructional staff and principals. The plan was updated from the draft presented on May 21 after gathering input and comments from hundreds of community members. A summary of that input is available on this Web site.

Next steps include continuing to develop detailed project plans for each strategy. These will include specific actions, milestones and benchmarks. A formal project management framework and project teams will develop and support the work. Updates will be posted on this Web site on a regular basis.
