Agenda Item Summary: As discussed at the March 7, 2019 Board Meeting, the division is initiating the strategic planning development process for the next strategic plan. Through the Request for Proposals (RFP) process, FourPoint Education Partners was selected to serve as the external vendor supporting ACPS and the community through the creation and finalization of the next strategic plan. Concurrently, the division has finalized the Strategic Planning Steering and Full Committee representatives. The June 19th Kick Off Event will offer an opportunity for the committee to build community, develop a shared understanding of equity, and understand the importance and process of strategic planning within ACPS.
Background: In planning for the creation of the next strategic plan within ACPS, an RFP was released on March 12, 2019. After a pre-proposal conference, review of proposals received and vendor presentations, a contract has been awarded to FourPoint Education Partners.

The Steering Committee has been appointed by the Superintendent and represents a diverse group of various stakeholders. The Strategic Planning Committee has also been confirmed and consists of a diverse group of staff representing all schools, community partners, and parents. The final lists of Strategic Planning Steering and Full Committee representatives are included as attachments to this memo.

At the June 19th Kick-Off Event, the steering and strategic planning committee members will come together to develop a shared understanding of equity and the forthcoming strategic planning process.

Moving forward, the School Board will be asked to revisit ACPS’ vision, mission, core beliefs, and values in the coming months. Identified Board members serving on the Steering Committee will act as liaisons to the Board and keep the full Board updated with salient information. Staff will also continue to update the full Board regularly throughout the strategic planning process.
Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends the School Board review the attached materials for possible planning, procedural, programmatic, and/or budgetary changes.
