KIRKWOOD R-VII staff urge broad community input for five-year strategic plan
Summary
A district staff member told the meeting that the KIRKWOOD R-VII strategic plan will set the districts vision, mission and goals for the next five years, and asked for input from families, community members, teachers and staff to ensure the plan meets student and community needs.
A staff member at a KIRKWOOD R-VII meeting said the districts strategic plan is the written statement of its vision, mission and five-year goals and guides all decision-making across the district. "When we think about meeting our students' needs, how we are engaging our families in the education process in the district, how are we bringing in our community who may not have students in the district right now, engaging our teachers and our staff. All of that happens through our strategic plan," the staff member said (00:00:04).
The speaker said the plan should reflect broad stakeholder input so it accurately addresses students', families' and the broader community's needs. "And so the more input we have, the better plan that we're going to have because it's gonna be reflective of all of our stakeholders and really allow us to make sure that we're meeting the needs of not only our students, but of our families and of the broader community," the staff member added (00:00:36).
The remarks framed the strategic plan as a five-year planning horizon and positioned community engagement, family involvement and staff participation as central to the planning process. The discussion described the session as an opportunity to help establish what the strategic plan will look like for the coming five years but did not include any formal motions, votes or timelines for next steps.
No specific implementation steps, deadlines, budget amounts or board directives were stated in the recorded remarks. The meeting excerpt did not identify the speaker by name or give a schedule for further public input or approval of the plan.
