Strategic Planning

On November 21 and 22, 2016, the Centennial School District engaged in a Strategic Planning process with the goal of setting a course for success in the future. For the first time in our district’s history, we facilitated a planning process that was inclusive of community members and district employees. More than 50 individuals collaborated on the plan and arrived at eight tangible goals that will reshape the district and move us into the future.

Research current and best practices and implement new strategies to address the achievement gap.

Use a variety of strategies to communicate and connect with all stakeholders in our communities as well as developing others.

Goal 4: Establish a "Plan-Do-Check" model for all areas

Continue to evaluate, assess, and improve all systems within our organization. Ensure timely and concise communication to staff and stakeholders.

Goal 5: Professional development

Balancing  wellness vs. relevance, efficiency, and inclusiveness, continue to utilize our current professional development model while incorporating more voice in the process for all stakeholders.

Goal 6: Expand programming and infrastructure to address the vocational, college prep, and remedial needs of each student

Create a sub group to evaluate potential options in this area that aren't necessarily driven by cost.

Goal 7: Develop a partnership between students and community on a service level and on a business level
