Strategic Plan Implementation

Accomplishments during SY 2020-21

• School Board Budget Priorities, ACPS Areas of Focus,

Superintendent Evaluation, and School and Department planning documents are all aligned directly to the new strategic plan. • A new strategic plan monitoring process was developed and implemented including the launch of the Equity Dashboard focused on formative and summative Key Performance Indicators and Areas of Focus updates provided to the School Board.

Development and the administration of the first Equity for All

Climate Survey for staff, students and families. • A diverse stakeholder Strategic Planning Annual Review

Committee (SPARC) was formed along with goal leaders and strategy managers to go through a newly created review process and recommend necessary adjustments to the strategic plan.

Key Milestones

• August 2020: Alignment of School Board Budget Priorities and

ACPS Areas of Focus to Equity for All strategic plan. • September 2020: Launch of new Equity for All staff learning modules focused on racial equity at the heart of our work and the anti-racist behaviors of “call it out,” “reflect, then respond” and

“comfortable being uncomfortable.” • February 2021: Creation of five-year implementation timeline by strategy to inform division work and priorities across the life of the plan. • March 2021: Equity Dashboard launched to publicly report and monitor inequities formatively within the Equity for All Key

Performance Indicators (KPIs). • April-June 2021: SPARC, goal leaders, strategy managers and

School Board engaged in the first annual review and revision process of the Equity for All strategic plan. • May-June 2021: Administration of first annual Equity for All

Climate Survey for staff, students and families.

Next Steps

• Continue to expand through explicitly aligning staff recruitment and additional evaluation processes (beyond the superintendent) to the Equity for All strategic plan. Incorporate strategic plan strategy implementation timelines into annual planning processes for departments and schools. • Finalize and launch the summative KPI Equity dashboard and build out additional monitoring and reporting structures at the school level to better inform school-specific improvement plans and strategies. • Continue to engage SPARC, goal leaders and strategy managers throughout the course of the school year to best inform the second-year revision process in the spring.
