0300: PLANNING
PROCESS
The district’s strategic planning process includes the
following elements:
Strategic Visioning and Planning Initiative: The Board shall
initiate strategic visioning and planning by charging the district’s visioning
team with overseeing the strategic planning process.
The Superintendent, in consultation with the Board, is authorized to appoint
the visioning team. A broad spectrum of community and educational leaders will
constitute the visioning team. A chair of the visioning team shall be selected
by the team. The team will establish a schedule of planning meetings.
The visioning team continues to oversee implementation of
strategic plan over time. Vacancies are filled by the superintendent on the
advice of the visioning team and in consultation with the Board.
Strategic Planning: A series of planning sessions shall be
held over the course of a year on dates established by the visioning team. The
process shall conclude with a draft strategic plan. The plan shall be submitted
to the Board for review, amendment and adoption following a public hearing. The
strategic plan adopted by the Board shall be incorporated in the district’s
official policies.
Strategic Management and Implementation: The management and
implementation phase of the strategic planning process is primarily the
responsibility of the administration. Action planning task forces comprised of
community members and staff shall develop detailed plans to accomplish the
goals of the strategic plan. The strategic action plans shall be reviewed by
the Board, and if adopted, shall be codified in the district’s official
policies. The Superintendent is authorized to appoint the action planning task
forces.
Annual Strategic Refocusing Meeting:
Prior to June 1st of each year the visioning team will report to the Board in a
public meeting on the implementation of the plan and recommend changes that may
be necessary or beneficial. The Board, in consultation with the administration,
will review the progress of the plan, and consider amendments and changes in priorities
in the plan in terms of changed and changing circumstances. Proposed amendments
to components of the strategic plan shall be considered by the Board following
a public hearing on the merits of the proposed amendments.
