Regional School District 13 unveils draft five‑year strategic plan and 'vision of a graduate'
Summary
District leaders presented a draft five‑year strategic plan, a 'vision of a graduate' with five core competencies, and a vision of instruction emphasizing rigorous, authentic, responsive, inclusive and coherent teaching; documents will be shared for public feedback and board review.
Regional School District 13 leadership on May 27 presented a draft five‑year strategic plan alongside a proposed "vision of a graduate" and a connected vision of instruction.
Administrators described the vision of a graduate as a commitment to five core competencies that should be visible from pre‑K through the district’s MTA program: growth‑oriented learner; innovative solution seeker; responsive and self‑directed navigator; conscientious community champion; and purposeful communicator and collaborator. The vision is rooted in core ethical values and framed as a promise the district makes to learners.
Liza Seagull and the superintendent described the complementary vision of instruction, which defines five instructional elements—rigorous, authentic, responsive, inclusive, and coherent—that should inform day‑to‑day teaching and system design. Examples focused on embedding productive struggle, real‑world application, formative feedback loops and structures to ensure consistency across classrooms.
The five‑year strategic plan organizes work around four continuing priorities—climate and culture; community connections; student achievement; and resources—and two rotating priorities that will guide work during this planning period (including pathways and a transition project tied to facility planning). The plan includes a master spreadsheet of objectives, assigned lead administrators, anticipated participating staff groups, year sequencing and a public reporting cadence (January and July updates to the board).
Leadership said they solicited broad input—survey responses, focus groups, school‑level meetings and follow‑up sessions—and plan a public rollout with materials, posters and QR links to the full plan. The plan also contains a capital‑planning workbook with multi‑year projects, priorities, estimated lifespans and funding sources.
Committee members were asked to review the drafts and submit feedback; the materials will be presented to the full board at its June meeting.
