Overview
As part of our commitment to continuous improvement and excellence, we are embarking on a comprehensive strategic planning process over the next year. To assist us in this process, we have partnered with Education Elements, a reputable organization with extensive experience in educational strategic planning. Our goal is to create a plan that reflects our community’s needs, aspirations, and collective vision for the future.
How can you participate in the strategic planning process?
We need your feedback to create a plan that reflects our community. You can engage in the strategic planning process in various ways.
Take our Survey
As we kick off our Strategic Planning process, we need your input. We would greatly appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to complete our Community Engagement Survey. This survey is designed to help us understand what our community believes should be prioritized in our upcoming strategic plan.
The survey includes questions about the current state of the district and schools, as well as your hopes and aspirations for the future. It should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. The insights gathered will be instrumental in identifying focus areas and shaping a plan that reflects the community’s collective vision. Your responses will remain anonymous.
Please note that the survey will close on September 13.
FTCSC Steering Team
- This team will oversee the process throughout the creation of the strategic plan to ensure it aligns with the needs of various stakeholders.
- The Steering Team will meet six times during the 2024-2025 school year and may require work outside of meeting times. The first meeting will be held virtually on September 4 from 5 to 7 p.m.
FTCSC Focus Groups
- A Focus Group is a facilitated discussion among a small group selected based on cohort similarities, with specific questions designed to elicit a narrative response
- Focus Groups meet once, virtually, for approximately one hour.
