Agenda Item Summary:
|
This Board Brief provides an update to recent and future activities involving the division’s current strategic planning process. Board members have worked with FourPoint Education Partners to revise the division’s vision, mission, and core values. A final draft of the revised vision, mission, and core values is attached.
FourPoint has also recently conducted a needs assessment across the organization involving a multitude of stakeholders to inform future strategic planning work. At the October 23rd Strategic Planning Committee, initial findings from the needs assessment were discussed. These initial findings are provided in the attached PowerPoint and the final report will be provided to the Board and the committee in the coming weeks.

Background:
|
The ACPS School Board held two sessions with FourPoint Education Partners to provide feedback on the division’s current vision, mission, and core values and on proposed revisions. The initial drafts were also shared with senior leadership, principals, and assistant principals for feedback. Final drafts of the revised vision, mission, and core values are attached. These core tenets will serve as the foundation on which subsequent strategic planning work will be built.
FourPoint conducted a needs assessment consisting of extant data and document analysis, 175 classroom walk-throughs, 15 focus groups with 105 participants, 6 focus groups with 38 secondary students, and interviews with school leaders, division leaders, and city officials, to inform the strategic planning process. Intentional outreach efforts were made in seeking diverse perspectives, especially from historically underrepresented groups. The needs assessment examined six domains: finance, governance, school improvement, instructional delivery, college, career, and life readiness, and community voice. Preliminary findings are presented in the attached PowerPoint.
