Strategic Plan
Through the strategic plan creation process, our district and community become partners in creating a 3-5 year plan to improve our school district. The Strategic Plan is a document used to communicate Moses Lake School District's goals, the priorities needed to achieve those goals, and metrics used to measure progress on those goals. It includes both the academic and operational aspects of the school district. This shared sense of ownership enables us to overcome obstacles and discover new possibilities for students.
Our goal is to empower our parents, students, district employees, city officials, business partners, and community, to collaboratively shape the future of our school district guided by the Strategic Plan. All Strategic plans aim:
- To prepare ALL students to meet or exceed academic and social-emotional learning benchmarks at each grade level and;
- To graduate ALL students prepared for college, career, and life experiences
Through this process, we will develop the Strategic Plan in a way that:
- Clarifies the goals and measures for student achievement (academic and social-emotional learning);
- Outlines a roadmap for accomplishing the goals;
- Embraces the diverse voices of all;
- Mobilizes leadership (staff, students, families, and community) for courageous action at all levels.
Who creates the Strategic plan?
Strategic plans are aligned with the Boards governing policies. Through these policies, the Board sets the directive; however, the Superintendent ensures a process is put in place to develop and implement a strategic plan. Here are the roles necessary for successful plan creation:
Strategic Planning Committee (SPC) ➢ Develop and recommend a final draft of the Strategic Plan to the Board. Committee members are a broad range of stakeholders and representatives in our community nominated by building administration, including local business leaders, students, parents, staff, and administration.
District Leadership & Small Work Groups ➢ Provide support in the planning process (e.g. refine and consolidate the work of the SPC, analyze and provide data, gather input from ALL constituents)
Stakeholders (students, parents, families, community) ➢ Provide feedback and input in various formats throughout the entire process to the SPC, which may include a variety of survey formats.
School Board ➢ Reviews the progress of the Strategic Planning process, provides feedback, and holds the authority to adopt the FINAL Strategic Plan
