Summary

Trustees reviewed board goals (growth & achievement, future planning, safety, recruitment, engagement and financial planning), recommended adding a technology governance/capital objective and more intentional outreach to county/municipal leaders and developers, and discussed making an annual schedule of engagement and a rolling five-year capital plan.

The board spent an extended session reviewing its six strategic pillars and suggested refinements and additional objectives. Members recommended an explicit, recurring goal to implement and monitor a technology-management and governance framework so capital needs and refresh schedules can be planned and communicated. "Implement and monitor a framework to improve management and governance of technology," a trustee proposed during the discussion.

Trustees also discussed more intentional engagement with county, municipal and development partners so the district has a "seat at the table" during planning and permitting that affects school capacity and capital needs. The board asked staff to develop a rolling five-year capital plan, refine goal language for clarity, and present a public-facing education plan to help community groups (PTAs and partners) understand referendum and capital requests when they occur.
