Woodland Park board introduces strategic plan focused on stabilization, teacher retention and transparency
Loading...
Summary
Board members unveiled a strategic plan centered on stabilizing finances, retaining teachers and restoring community trust, built from staff and community input and organized around seven priority areas and checkpoints for ongoing review.
The Woodland Park School District RE‑2 board presented a strategic plan that leaders said is intended to stabilize the district, restore trust and create a foundation for future program growth.
A board presenter said the plan was developed over months with teachers, staff and community input—including more than 400 written comments—and is organized around three phases (stabilize, strengthen and grow) and seven priority areas: academic excellence; student engagement; educator talent; safe campuses; operational integrity; family and community engagement; and equity.
“This plan is not about quick fixes. It’s about doing the work the right way, building it around our current reality,” the presenter said, emphasizing that measurable goals will be developed with experts and returned to the board for approval.
The plan includes monthly public reporting on progress, annual staff and team satisfaction surveys and a full evaluation by year three. Board members said the roadmap is intended to guide administrative goal‑setting; administrators will propose specific initiatives and timelines for board approval.
Key priorities highlighted during the presentation included teacher retention measures and a rollout of governance and financial practices to increase transparency. The presenter noted early actions already taken: creation of reporting structures, emphasis on safety and a focus on rebuilding community relationships.
What comes next: the board will post plan materials online, solicit additional feedback through a QR code and other channels, and continue to refine the plan with staff and community input before formal adoption steps.
