Summary

District staff gave a monthly update on the community strategic plan process, describing large convenings, design teams and student engagement strategies intended to produce a five‑year plan written with broad public input.

District staff provided trustees with a detailed update on the community strategic plan process and a calendar of outreach activities intended to surface broad community priorities.

Staff described the recent Meadow Heights convening (more than 200 attendees), the community commitments that emerged there (trust and safety; respect and deep listening; collaboration and engagement), and a calendar that includes recurring large convenings, a 45‑member vision design team that meets monthly, and an 8–10 member leadership committee to synthesize design team recommendations. Staff said the process will also include classroom visits, focus groups and a student 'Imagine School' campaign to capture student voice beyond surveys.

Trustees praised the transparency and breadth of outreach and asked staff to keep the board regularly updated. District staff said monthly board updates will continue and that the final community‑informed plan is intended to guide district budgeting, leadership priorities and site implementation over multiple years.

Next steps: design team meetings and additional large convenings are scheduled through the school year; staff will return monthly with updates to the board.
