I am writing to provide an update on the progress of our strategic planning committee. As you may recall, we have assembled a committee of 18 that originate from every stakeholder group including students, school board, superintendent, school administration, teacher, counselor, alumni, PTSA, School Advisory Council, and foundation. The group has invested more than 20 meeting hours to date and hopes to complete its work in early 2015 (January/February) at which time it will be presented and posted for public comment. Our work has focused in 5 goal areas including: Student Recruitment and Retention, Curriculum and Instruction, Faculty and Staff, Facility, and Finance. We look forward to completing the work soon and offering it for your review.
