District plans two‑night 'Let’s Fly Forward' summit to co‑design strategic plan
Summary
The district announced a two‑night community summit (April 29 and May 4) to gather residents, staff, students and partners to co‑create a strategic plan and a 'portrait of a graduate' through table‑based interactive activities and showcases from students and parents.
The superintendent and staff described a two‑night community summit called 'Let’s Fly Forward' designed to bring parents, students, staff and local partners together to reflect on district history, analyze current data and design a shared vision.
The district plans two sessions: night one on April 29 (doors 4:45 p.m., program 5:30–8:30 p.m.) and night two on May 4 with the same schedule. The approach emphasizes small‑group table work, gallery walks and student showcases rather than lectures; each table will build a timeline, identify five observations and produce top 'urgencies' for the district.
Why it matters: administrators said the summit will gather community input that will be analyzed and incorporated into the district’s next strategic plan. Childcare and assigned seating will be provided; RSVP is required to manage dinner and space. The superintendent said the process will ensure 'no ideas get left behind' and that the summit will produce a community‑built 'portrait of a graduate' to guide future goals.
Logistics and outreach: staff outlined outreach plans including a social media campaign, postcards to the village and neighboring townships, targeted invitations to legislators and regional colleges, and a QR‑code RSVP. The district estimates about 150 attendees and plans to capture post‑event materials (video/photos) for later use. A recorded promotional audio in the meeting framed the summit activities and noted Superintendent Dr. Matt Monod will close the event.
What's next: the district will continue messaging and targeted outreach, host at least one final planning meeting prior to the event, and produce an event wrap‑up that summarizes themes and next steps for the strategic plan.
