Strategic Planning Group Meets To Take In Public Information
Posted
Staff Report-
Warsaw Community Schools recently asked for staff and community input through a survey for priorities for WCS to kick off the strategic planning process. On Wednesday, a broad-based strategic planning group met to start digesting the information received from the hundreds of survey responses, according to a press release from WCS. This strategic planning group included teachers, staff, administration, students, parents, community and industry leaders. Among the themes in the early stages of planning and from the surveys, indicators show that student wellness will be among the top priorities. Student wellness will encompass such things as physical and mental health (including suicide prevention), students being valued, embracing diversity and developing community and global leadership skills. Continued academic advancement was another major theme of conversation and planning. The focus was on the preparedness of students for colleges and career tracks. This relevance of learning is a critical component for encouragements of student career and life dreams, the press release states. Superintendent Dr. David Hoffert will continue participating in numerous community events sharing the recent progress and will continue to request further feedback on priorities for WCS. An abbreviated version of the presentation is also available at www.warsaw.k12.in.us.
