Learn more about the Board of Education's efforts regarding the strategic planning process
Every organization should undergo a periodic review of its strategic direction and the best organizations create a culture of continuous assessment. Although the New Albany – Plain Local school district has made some minor revisions to its “strategic plan” the last dated revision noted came in 2006 and the plan itself dates back to the early 1990s.
On January 8 - 10, a Planning Committee comprised of 35 community members (a mix of parents, community representatives, teachers, administrators, students, etc.) met to develop an draft concept. According to the Cambridge model, the purpose of this step is to draft a vision for the school district. Under the guidance of a facilitator, the Planning Committee discussed issues and developed belief statements, a new mission statement, measurable objectives, and strategy statements about future directions for the school district.
A member of New Albany for Kids executive leadership team participated on the Planning Committee. We continue to be a strong advocate for strategic planning and community engagement. We would like to see broader community awareness and engagement. We have already asked school officials to develop a comprehensive communications and engagement plan and we hope to see greater efforts in this area.
The Planning Committee draft plan is available here and you can find more information about the process from the school's website.
