Summary
The White County Board of Education approved a district strategic plan for 2026–2028 after stakeholder surveys and workshops. The board said the plan emphasizes improving parent and guardian engagement and will include periodic reports and measures.
The White County Board of Education voted Dec. 11 to adopt a new district strategic plan for the 2026–2028 school years that the board said was created from a July SWOT exercise and stakeholder surveys in September 2025.
Chair presented the plan, saying the board distilled survey results to make stakeholder engagement a primary focus. "Our vision of what excellence looks like is students know that teachers, administrators, parents, and guardians are invested in their education," the chair said as he summarized the mission and objectives.
Board member Mr. McDonald moved to adopt the plan and Miss Officer seconded. During discussion members praised administrators for soliciting parent, student and staff input; the board emphasized accountability and regular progress reports tied to survey metrics. The board adopted the plan by voice vote.
The plan sets stakeholder engagement as the district’s top objective for the next 36 months and tasks administrators with developing tactical objectives to implement during the 2026–2028 school years. Board members said they expect periodic reports and survey follow‑ups to measure progress toward engagement goals.
Board materials indicate the strategic work followed a district SWOT, school‑level assessments and a series of workshops involving administrators and community stakeholders. No formal amendments were made at the meeting; the board approved the plan as presented and will revisit implementation in regular reporting cycles.
