Thank you to everyone who participated in our recent listening sessions and shared feedback. We are now moving into the next phase of our strategic planning process.
A Strategic Planning Committee of approximately 20 members—including students, staff, parents, and community representatives—will be meeting to guide this work. The committee will review both quantitative and qualitative data, including feedback from listening sessions, state-reported data, and district survey results. They will use this information to identify key priorities, develop a proposed mission, vision, and core values, and create a draft strategic plan for the district.
This work will be facilitated by Mary Fertakis from the Washington State School Directors' Association.
While the committee will be actively engaged in discussion and decision-making, community members are welcome to attend and observe the process.
Meeting Details: All meetings will be held in the High School Commons from 5:00–8:00 p.m. on the following dates:
Please note that observers will not participate in discussions, but are welcome to attend.
We appreciate your continued interest and involvement as we work together to shape the future direction of our district.
