Loading...
Summary
An unidentified KIRKWOOD R-VII staff member told attendees the district is launching a five-year strategic plan and urged input from families, teachers, staff and community members to develop the district's vision, mission and goals.
An unidentified KIRKWOOD R-VII staff member said the district is beginning work on a five-year strategic plan and invited broad community input to help define its vision and mission. "That in writing is what is our vision and our mission? What are our goals for the next 5 years?" the speaker asked.
The staff member framed the planning process as central to district decision-making, saying it "drives all of the decision making and work throughout the district." They emphasized that the more input the district receives, the more the plan will reflect stakeholders and better meet students', families' and the broader community's needs.
The presentation focused on three interrelated goals: identifying a clear vision and mission in writing, setting measurable goals for the next five years, and engaging families, teachers, staff and community members who may not currently have students in the district. The speaker described participation as "an amazing opportunity to come into a district and a community and get to be a part of establishing what that strategic plan looks like for the next 5 years."
The transcript provides no details about the timeline, public engagement venues, or next procedural steps for drafting or approving the plan. Those details were not specified.
