District 281 Strategic Planning: Halftime
http://speedgibson.powerblogs.com/posts/1210951006.shtml


   I give our district pretty high marks for the Visioning / Strategic
   Planning initiative that has developed a Vision, Mission, several
   Priorities, and numerous Goals. There is still a little bit of
   "wordsmithing" left to complete sentences and correct grammar, but I
   think we have a workable framework to go forward. As one staffer put
   it, it's halftime.
   Now it's time to assign people and resources, and execute.
   District 281 did something similar five years ago, getting input,
   developing a reorganization plan, which was then executed. This closed
   a school, replaced the Technology Learning Campus with more modern
   alternatives, addressed some demographic imbalances, and cut
   administration. This would be remarkable in the private sector, where
   often such plans just get filed.
   I and others will be watching, participating, and reporting, and you
   of course follow along on the [1]district web site.
