Summary
Trustees approved a charter to begin a new strategic-planning process with roughly 35-member stakeholder group to set district priorities and measurable key progress measures for the next five years; staff will return to board with meeting dates and nominations.
The Belton ISD Board of Trustees voted 7-0 on Feb. 2 to approve a strategic-plan charter that will relaunch a districtwide planning process intended to set high-priority goals for the next five years.
Dr. Goldin told trustees the charter requests forming a broad stakeholder group (up to 35 members) including parents, community leaders, teachers, principals, and students. The effort will reexamine vision and mission language and identify 3—5 measurable high-priority goals and "key progress measures" that will guide district work and board oversight.
Trustee discussion focused on representation: trustees asked for balanced participation across general-education, special-education, faith-based, higher-education and student voices. Staff said they will provide membership nomination guidance and schedule meeting dates after board action.
Next steps: Staff asked trustees to provide two names each for initial membership; the district will hold meetings outside work hours to maximize community participation and will report back to the board as the process advances.
