Summary

Superintendent Klinger presented three options for updating the district strategic plan (comprehensive process $50K–$60K; consultant update $15K–$20K; internal integrated grant approach $5K); board members said they prefer either the comprehensive process or a consultant-assisted update and will revisit on March 12.

The board reviewed options for refreshing the district’s strategic plan and discussed the scope, timeline and estimated costs of three approaches. Superintendent Tracy Klinger said the district could pursue a comprehensive strategic planning process (estimated $50,000–$60,000), hire a consultant to update existing resources (estimated $15,000–$20,000), or use the integrated grants process as a lower‑cost internal option (estimated $5,000) focused on graphic design and website presentation.

Board members noted parts of the district’s 2018–21 plan (mission, vision, Portrait of a Graduate, board conditions) remain useful and debated what to retain versus revise. Examples from Centennial, Hillsboro, Beaverton and Mt. Angel were discussed for format and public presentation. Members asked about procurement needs such as an RFP/RFQ and expressed interest in backward planning to identify steps and timelines; they directed staff to review examples and return for discussion at the March 12 work session.

There was no final vote; staff will prepare materials to support a subsequent decision on scope and procurement method.
