A thirty-person committee met November 29, 30, and December 1, 2007, to begin the work of developing a new five-year strategic plan for Woodbury City Public Schools. The team consisted of a diverse group that included students, parents, community members, teachers, support staff, board members, and school administrators. The time was well spent and much was accomplished. A draft strategic plan for our district was successfully developed.
During that first session, beliefs, a mission and objectives were developed based on what the group thought to be in the best interest of our students. From the discussions, five specific strategies were outlined to ensure we achieve our district’s goals.
Each of these five strategies required an Action Team to formulate the specific tasks required to reach the objectives. The first action team meetings took place in January 2008, with subsequent meetings taking place approximately once per week through May 2008. Each team consisted of approximately fifteen individuals who, again, represented all segments of the school community.
The initial strategic planning team, with the addition of the leaders of the action teams, met on Friday and Saturday, May 9-10, 2008, for the third phase of the planning efforts. The goal was to finalize a plan in those sessions that could be presented to the Board for approval -- one that will take the district through the next five years, 2008 – 2013.
This final plan was approved by the Woodbury City Board of Education on June 25, 2008.
If you have any questions regarding any parts of the planning process, please do not hesitate the superintendent’s office.
