Strategic Plan Steering Committee Holds 4th Meeting

The Rockwood School District Strategic Plan Steering Committee held its fourth meeting at the Administrative Annex on Jan. 28, as part of the yearlong process to help prepare for a new district strategic plan for 2025-2030.

Over the course of the 2024-2025 school year, Rockwood is bringing together members of our community to help set the future direction of our schools. The district's five-year strategic plan represents our commitment to every child, every family and every employee of Rockwood. Along the way, we will ask questions, listen, evaluate and take an even closer look at what we can do better. We will address our state’s mandate for a comprehensive school improvement plan and take it a step further as we develop a visionary roadmap that will include the aspirations, goals and priorities shared by our community.

The Strategic Plan Steering Committee includes students, staff, parents and community members who represent all grade levels and all four quadrants of the district. 

In addition to the committee's work, Rockwood community members will have opportunities to have their voices heard through the process of creating the strategic plan. Community engagement meetings centered on each of the four broad categories the strategic plan will address are open to all members of our community. The first community engagement meeting was held Oct. 8 at Rockwood Summit High and focused on Nurturing Learning. The second was held Nov. 12 at Eureka High and focused on Fiscal Responsibility. The third was held Jan. 14 at Lafayette High and focused on Highly Qualified Staff. 

The next community engagement meeting is scheduled for Feb. 11 at 6 p.m. at Marquette High (back-up date: Feb. 12) and will center on Safe and Caring Schools.

Community members are also welcome to share their thoughts with the steering committee through this ThoughtExchange link.
