District schedules comprehensive-plan kickoff April 8; state granted extension to Sept. 1
Summary
Dr. Eddie Wilson outlined the Woodland Hills comprehensive-planning timeline: stakeholder meetings starting April 8, a state extension to Sept. 1, and a steering-committee-driven process that will produce a three-year plan and related reports for the Pennsylvania Department of Education.
Dr. Eddie Wilson told the board the district will hold the first comprehensive-plan steering meeting next Tuesday, April 8. He said the district requested and received an extension from the state: the plan is now due Sept. 1, and the district will need board approval by August to meet that deadline.
Wilson described the process the steering committee will follow: building a full district profile, conducting a SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats), analyzing data points such as the Pennsylvania Future Ready PA Index and other performance measures, and drafting goals and an action plan. He said the process will include stakeholders from across the district — teachers, parents, board members, central-office staff and community members — and that meetings will be held in person and via Zoom.
Wilson said the comprehensive plan requires five additional reports to the state and that future meetings in May and June will refine the plan and stakeholder input. He said the April meeting will focus on strengths and goal-setting rather than the eGrants submission process.
Board members asked for a one-sentence summary of the plan’s purpose; Wilson responded, “to give us a roadmap for the next three years to ensure success for our scholars.” He also encouraged board members to attend steering-committee meetings but said attendance is voluntary and the meetings are open to any stakeholder.
No formal board action was taken during the discussion; the meeting served to announce the schedule and explain the stakeholder-driven process.
