Lebanon board adopts district strategic plan, citing four goals tied to student achievement

The Lebanon Special School District board unanimously approved a new district strategic plan after staff described the plan’s mission, vision, core beliefs and four board‑adopted goals.

Board members and staff said the plan begins with a one‑page summary and breaks into content areas that connect to school plans and state expectations. "When we talk about mission and vision, we really wanted to update and it be reflected," a staff presenter said, adding that the plan includes goals to "cultivate student achievement, save a learning environment, high quality employees, and strengthen partnerships." The presenter also said the district will post the plan and revise it over time as goals are met.

Board members emphasized the collaborative drafting process. Staff credited district personnel for aligning the strategies and objectives with school and state plans and acknowledged formatting assistance from district staff. After discussion, a board member moved to approve the strategic plan; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.

The board did not attach an immediate implementation timeline in the public discussion; staff said departmental strategies will be used to align work across the district and that the plan will be updated as objectives are met.
