Strategic Planning 2024-2029

PHASE ONE: Gaining stakeholder insights to inform our strategic plan. To do this we:

• hosted a series of four community engagement events that were open to families, community members, teachers and staff, and Board of Education members
• electronically disseminated a survey to parents and made the survey available online for community members to complete
• held a designated teacher/staff engagement event where participants worked in two of the four priority areas to generate insights
• compiled insights from these stakeholder engagement approaches

PHASE TWO: Organizing and engaging a Phase Two Planning Team comprised of parents/guardians, teachers, non-teaching staff, district and school administrators, and community members.

• We solicited names of individuals across all stakeholder groups who would be interested in engaging in Phase Two planning. A group of 20-25 individuals was formed.
• This group met for a series of meetings to review the compiled insights and to develop a Version 1 (v1) Strategic Plan.

We are excited to share and invite your feedback on Version 1 (v1) of the Skokie District 73.5 Strategic Plan. The plan is organized into three primary sections:

1. Big Aims: What are the big issues that we are seeking to impact as a result of our strategic plan?
2. Strategic Objectives: What are the specific goals that we would like to achieve and how would we know whether this goal has been achieved?
3. Strategies: What are the key strategies being suggested; strategies that are envisioned as necessary for achieving our Strategic Objectives/Big Aims?
