Strategic Plan

The 2016- 2020 Center School District’s Strategic Plan

A strategic plan serves as a roadmap to achieve and accomplish goals of improving student outcomes while meeting the everchanging needs of students and community. The strategic plan outlines the actions needed to achieve goals, aims and objectives with a focus on planning and designing strategies for the next generation of learning.

The Center School District is currently guided by a Strategic Plan that was released in 2016.The District’s current five-year strategic plan ends on June 30, 2021.

The plan was created through a five-month process. Starting with a desire to plan for our future in an innovative and creative way, Center School District established a framework to gather input from internal and external stakeholders. From teachers to parents and students to community members, we’ve gathered ideas and dreams from a variety of people connected to our community.

The plan aligns with the vision and mission for the future of CSD schools.

Vision: The Center School District strives for excellence in our schools where all students are expected to learn and grow.

Mission: All students will demonstrate high achievement, character, and teamwork in a diverse community. Together, we achieve!

The plan highlights 6 main strategies:

Strategy 1 Academic Achievement

Strategy 2 College and Career Readiness

Strategy 3 Engagement

Strategy 4 Taking Care of Students and Staff

Strategy 5 Efficient Systems

Strategy 6 21st Century Learning Environments

Design Process for the New Strategic Plan - 2021-2026

With the current Strategic Plan ending, District leaders have been working with our partner, International Center for Leadership in Education or ICLE, to develop the upcoming CSD Strategic Plan that will guide our District’s efforts through June 2026.

Superintendent Dr. Yolanda Cargile believes it is paramount that every staff member in the District is engaged in the process. The CSD Five-Year Strategic Plan will guide our work, conversations, written documentation, planning and implementation. As we design the guiding roadmap for our District, the six-month process is crucial to the future of our students’ successes. Feedback from varied stakeholder groups including students, staff, parents, community members and educational leaders is a vital component of the work.

Our objective is to ensure every staff member knows about the plan and most importantly, realizes their role in meeting established goals and helping to move the District forward. As a District, we want to create an environment where everyone is talking about the CSD Strategic Plan, including staff, partners, parents, students and community members. If we can create synergy focused on student success, together we can achieve the goals we strive to meet.

Our Strategic Planning partners, ICLE, will be gathering perceptions from all stakeholders in a series of WE Surveys. The WE™ Surveys ask students, staff and community members to share their perceptions anonymously about the learning environment, quality of instruction and leadership in a school or district. Survey results are presented in a detailed report that can guide decisions about school improvement.

The We Surveys help school leaders:

· Learn how students, staff, and the community view the learning environment

· Gain insight into how they perceive the levels of rigor, relevance, and relationships

· Develop direction for increasing student achievement

· Collect data to inform school improvement plans

· Each survey has 60 items, which are rated on a Likert scale from Strongly Agree to Strongly Disagree

· The surveys take about 15 minutes to complete

· Data collection is completely anonymous
