After a year of listening to our students, staff, family members, School Board, and community, LRSD, in partnership with Greenway Strategies Group, has developed a Strategic Plan that will allow us to reimagine LRSD and help shape the future of our district. We have identified four theme areas along with objectives where we will be focusing our action steps:

What's a Strategic Plan - Why Are We Doing It?

A strategic plan is a crucial part of an organization's ongoing efforts for improvement, guiding its direction through a review of its current standing and envisioning future goals. This plan will be developed by collecting feedback from school district staff,  students, families, and community members via in-person and online listening sessions and includes several key elements:

• Clear and detailed statements outlining the desired outcomes for students, staff, families, the community, and the district.

• Specific actions outlining the steps taken to achieve objectives.

• Data collection and analysis methods to evaluate progress.

• Established standards that serve as benchmarks to measure progress toward reaching goals.

Previous Strategic Planning Meetings

During phase one of this effort, LRSD has presented information about the Strategic Planning process to several organizations and conducted multiple community engagement sessions:

• Community Cafes at local schools– parents, staff, students, and community members

• Chamber of Commerce – business leaders and community stakeholders Civic and Faith-based Organizations

•  Parent-Teacher Association Groups

•  Student Groups at all District high schools and some elementary and middle school sites
