DESCRIPTION:

Community involvement in strategic planning is critical for Board Members and Administrators to fully understand the expectations of their school community.  In this session, you will hear about how a district in northern Wisconsin actively engaged a team of community leaders to plan and conduct a community conversation regarding the community’s expectations for the school district.  This team of community leaders then developed a proposal for a new District Mission, Vision, and set of Strategic Pillars based on what was heard during the community conversation event.  This team presented their proposal to the School Board, which adopted the recommendations.  This highly engaging process provides for accountability and transparency within the community.
