Smith-Green Community Schools board approves 2025 strategic plan
Summary
At its Sept. 17 meeting the Smith-Green Community Schools board approved a 2025 strategic plan that sets four pillars—curriculum & instruction; culture; communication & marketing; and campus/finance & facilities—with specific year-one goals and a cadence of semester updates from committee leads.
The Smith-Green Community Schools board approved a districtwide 2025 strategic plan during its regular meeting on Sept. 17, 2025, setting four pillars to guide decision-making over the next three to five years.
A district staff member leading the presentation described the plan as “a long-term road map that outlines a district vision, goals, and priorities for improving student outcomes,” and said the plan grew from a March 2025 climate audit and committee work that included staff, students, parents and community members. The plan’s core values are listed as excellence, accountability, growth, leadership, engagement and a student-centered mindset.
The plan organizes work into four pillars: curriculum and instruction; culture; communication and marketing; and campus, which includes finance and facilities. Year-one curriculum goals include aligning a PK–12 curriculum, targeted professional development, and researching MTSS and other systems to support diverse learners. Culture goals emphasize a supportive workplace, student engagement and a consistent approach to discipline; communication goals include a district communications plan and marketing to retain and attract families; campus goals prioritize directing resources to student learning, financial stewardship and competitive compensation.
Board members discussed implementation and reporting cadence, with committee leaders set to provide updates at least once a semester and staff collecting interim data and metrics tied to the plan’s performance matrix. A presenter said committees will continue meeting on a semi-regular basis to carry the plan forward.
A board member moved to approve the 2025 strategic plan; another seconded the motion and the chair called for the question. The transcript records the board taking the motion and calling for those in favor, indicating approval by voice vote. The transcript does not record a roll-call tally or identify the motion’s mover and seconder by name.
Next steps announced at the meeting include committee-level follow-up, ongoing data collection, and periodic reports back to the board on progress toward stated goals. The board scheduled a public budget hearing for Oct. 6, 2025, to consider next year’s budget and capital projects that will fund portions of the plan.
