Crosby‑Ironton board presses for broader community input on strategic‑plan refresh
Summary
District leaders reported progress on a strategic‑plan refresh that began March 9 and urged the public to complete an online survey; the board reviewed balanced‑scorecard scoring and scheduled community input sessions, with a Zoom option on March 30.
Crosby‑Ironton Public School District trustees reviewed the strategic‑plan refresh process and encouraged wider participation in a community survey during Tuesday’s meeting.
“Since our March 9 launch…we have 240 student responses, about 70 staff and parents nearing 300,” Superintendent Mister Ollie told the board, noting student responses were collected during advisory periods and the survey remains open through April 1. He said the district’s initial target was around 1,000 total responses and that administrators planned additional outreach via the local paper and social media.
Mister Ollie outlined upcoming engagement opportunities: an in‑person community session at Crest’s Forum Room, a student session facilitated with board member Fisher, and a Zoom session on Monday, March 30 at 6 p.m. He said the goal is to close the survey by April 1, spend April summarizing responses, and provide a draft summary to the board in April for decisions about the strategic plan.
Board members then reviewed a portion of the balanced scorecard tied to focus area 1 (objectives 1.4–1.6). Individual board members offered numeric scores and code‑level feedback: ratings ranged from about 2 to 5 across objectives, and the convening chair reported an average score of 4.33 for the subset discussed. Members raised recurring themes: better communication and marketing of existing programs, stronger incorporation of community service into curriculum at all grade levels, and continued support for early reading interventions.
Board members urged outreach that reaches families who may not be aware of district offerings and encouraged attendance at the scheduled input sessions. The district will summarize survey results for the board in April.
