Consultant presents multi‑year strategic roadmap; board slated to consider adoption in July
Summary
Richard De Lorenzo of Ignite briefed the board on a multi‑year strategic roadmap centered on the district's "Portrait of a Graduate," recommending phased implementation and teacher engagement; board members discussed a July adoption and an August staff unveiling.
Richard De Lorenzo, introduced by the board as representing Ignite, presented a high‑level overview of a proposed strategic roadmap the district will consider for formal adoption in July. The plan outlines year‑by‑year phases (year 1: build preconditions; years 2–3: implement; years 4–5: sustain and refine) and centers the district's recently adopted "Portrait of a Graduate" as the work's guiding framework.
De Lorenzo said early rollout should engage roughly 10% of teaching staff (an estimate of 12–16 teachers) to pilot practices and provide classroom verification. Board members discussed possible work sessions before July to unpack sections of the plan and asked that feedback be routed through administrators before formal adoption. The board discussed plans to present the final document to all staff at an August back‑to‑school event, and members emphasized community engagement and staff ownership as key to avoiding early disengagement.
The presentation did not require a vote; the board signaled interest in scheduling a work session and collecting feedback prior to the July meeting when formal adoption will be considered.
