Doctor Hyle presented the district's draft strategic framework, summarized as 'Tigers,' and said the district will keep its existing mission and vision while tying core intents to classroom practice. He told the board the first task-force night included Wold data and financial and enrollment presentations and that "everything was recorded" and would be published on a landing page so community members could review the video and PowerPoints.
Hyle described the 'Tigers' acronym — teaching, innovation, grit, empowerment, readiness and systems — and said the district plans to pair each value with implementation strategies. "We didn't change our mission. We didn't change the vision," he said while explaining that the board wanted clearer alignment between core values and day-to-day instruction. He suggested a short tagline to emphasize high-reliability practices: "together we're building high reliability learning organization, 1 student, 1 classroom, 1 team at a time." He also said staff would collect student feedback before a planned rollout in roughly a month.
Board members recommended study sessions focused on each 'Tigers' pillar and asked staff to keep the materials accessible. Hyle said Adam from IT is building a landing page and that uploaded recordings and slide decks would be accompanied by contact information for follow-up questions. The superintendent emphasized transparency as a goal of the task force and invited the board to continue reviewing drafts and offering input.
The meeting's procedural business — approving the agenda and accepting reported donations — followed Hyle's reports and did not change the district's strategic timeline. The board did not take a final vote on adopting the 'Tigers' language; Hyle framed the presentation as a draft intended for further refinement and community feedback.
