In early 2019, our Board began working on a Strategic Plan to set the direction for the District during the Board's four year term.  The plan was developed by completing an Environmental Scan and SWOT analysis, extensive discussion with Trustees and Senior Staff, and a full day strategic planning workshop involving the Board of Education and Senior District Leadership. The Board then hosted a facilitated forum involving community stakeholders and used the feedback from that event to inform the balance of its planning. 

The District has chosen three key themes that will be given special focus over the next four years with implementation of each of these themes focused on specific goals and objectives:
