SPRING 2019 REFINE

Set and Finalize Goals/Action Steps

The Grandview C-4 School District Board of Education approved the District’s five-year Strategic Plan at the June 2019 School Board meeting. The plan was developed by a community team consisting of approximately 40 stakeholders which included parents, district staff members, Board of Education representatives and community members. Members of the strategic plan focus teams collaborated around the development of the plan from October 2018 through April 2019 to review data and develop the overall district goals which will guide the district for the next five years.

The team was divided into five smaller teams to further develop goals as well as create strategies and action steps for the five focus areas: Strategic Governance; Student Success; Workforce Excellence; Resource Stewardship and Organizational Efficiency; and Family and Community Involvement. Action steps within the plan are written to be SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, results-oriented, time-bound), allow for clear monitoring of progress, and are placed on an annual timeline. The newly created strategic plan was developed with an emphasis on student achievement, cultural competency and fully preparing students for post-secondary college and/or career success.

In addition to the District Strategic Plan, individual schools develop site level School Improvement Plans (SIPs). The SIPs are aligned to the District Plan and serve as the process for annually monitoring student achievement and differentiating student and adult learning opportunities based on the specific needs of each individual school site. Implementation of the Strategic Plan is measured through annual SIP presentations, program evaluations and periodic strategic plan updates to the Board of Education.
