The reason I'm bringing this year attention is that I will 307 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:28,040 be in December, kind of seeking maybe a volunteer or two from this board to sit on our 308 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,300 larger group of visioning work. So I just want to kind of get it in your brains, you kind of know 309 00:18:33,300 --> 00:18:39,580 what you'd be signing up for. So approximately four retreats for the planning team, and we'd 310 00:18:39,580 --> 00:18:42,200 to have a school board member or two on that. 311 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:44,680 So what we're going to do with it 312 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,980 is really do mission vision core values. 313 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,120 We're going to do some deep dive into the data 314 00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:51,660 and our theory of action, create objectives. 315 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,940 And we say professional development and teacher induction. 316 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:56,640 We're already improving those things 317 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,800 and we've been trying to improve those things. 318 00:18:59,220 --> 00:19:01,540 But we want to align them to where we're heading. 319 00:19:02,140 --> 00:19:03,820 And that's going to be the three-year plan. 320 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,260 So as we make sure you guys kind of understand theory 321 00:19:06,260 --> 00:19:09,280 and then you'll have those reps who will join us in the work 322 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,380 and hopefully report back when we're here. 323 00:19:12,380 --> 00:19:16,020 The goal for that will be, and I don't want to read off the slides, but to create the plan, 324 00:19:16,500 --> 00:19:17,940 we're aligning systems already. 325 00:19:18,180 --> 00:19:20,620 I think you guys are aware of that. 326 00:19:20,700 --> 00:19:23,980 But then also implement the work we can measure these success. 327 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:29,040 So one of the big items in that has to do with you all, and that's budgets and grants and how we get money. 328 00:19:29,820 --> 00:19:34,560 So I think it's important to have one or two of you on that committee to really kind of help us 329 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,800 make sure we're all in line and not going to a stray from what the board wants. 330 00:19:39,690 --> 00:19:44,930 So we did talk in June, and the goal was to kind of come up with from the leadership teams, 331 00:19:45,690 --> 00:19:50,230 what are the strengths of our current practices and culture related to planning and implementation? 332 00:19:51,050 --> 00:19:55,090 What are the weaknesses, what opportunities might we add to make this better? 333 00:19:55,670 --> 00:19:59,610 And then what threats does this school system face as a result of current planning practices? 334 00:19:59,690 --> 00:20:06,510 So I'm going to be honest with you, the threats and the weaknesses are really all about perception of the town, 335 00:20:06,790 --> 00:20:08,750 money, what's available to them. 336 00:20:08,750 --> 00:20:14,590 And what we're asking this team to do is to really dream in spite of all that, if that makes sense. 337 00:20:15,090 --> 00:20:19,510 So we're a believer in like, remove what you perceive as a limit, dream the dream, 338 00:20:20,270 --> 00:20:21,690 and then let's go fight for the dream. 339 00:20:21,890 --> 00:20:23,690 And if we don't get it, we make our decisions. 340 00:20:25,050 --> 00:20:26,330 But I'm being honest with you guys. 341 00:20:26,890 --> 00:20:30,530 I'm not suggesting that we're expecting to go ask for the world. 342 00:20:31,030 --> 00:20:34,250 But we want to be really centrally focused that we offer our budget. 343 00:20:34,850 --> 00:20:37,510 We continue to draw our picture of what it is we're trying to do with it. 344 00:20:38,430 --> 00:20:40,050 So that's just something important. 345 00:20:41,070 --> 00:20:43,210 Opportunities, we want to bring in more players. 346 00:20:43,530 --> 00:20:46,810 They identified that as a need across the district. 347 00:20:46,870 --> 00:20:49,790 Teachers will see it's more connected if they have voice on the team. 348 00:20:50,310 --> 00:20:53,450 We've a lot of this already happening with the NIS work we're doing. 349 00:20:54,010 --> 00:20:56,790 The district accreditation is due to happen in the spring also. 350 00:20:57,230 --> 00:21:00,110 So it's great about actually the timing change. 351 00:21:00,750 --> 00:21:04,950 Is that we'll be able to put the feedback from that visit in with the plan 352 00:21:04,950 --> 00:21:08,190 and have it all go into one road map forward. 353 00:21:08,950 --> 00:21:10,730 So I think it's really the right time. 354 00:21:11,690 --> 00:21:13,530 And I think our teachers have been voicing 355 00:21:13,530 --> 00:21:17,270 that they're excited to see past where we've been, right? 356 00:21:17,410 --> 00:21:19,230 The whole, we had the big pause with the pandemic 357 00:21:19,230 --> 00:21:20,190 and so forth. 358 00:21:20,430 --> 00:21:22,890 We're past that now, but instead of just going back to business 359 00:21:22,890 --> 00:21:25,110 as usual, what do we want this district 360 00:21:25,110 --> 00:21:26,190 to look like in 10 years? 361 00:21:26,790 --> 00:21:28,730 What do we want the opportunity for kids in 10 years? 362 00:21:28,950 --> 00:21:30,430 It's not what we do today, probably. 363 00:21:31,630 --> 00:21:33,170 So that's what we're gonna really work on. 364 00:21:34,950 --> 00:21:40,110 risk taking, we want to, so this is the culture opportunities that the leadership team identified, 365 00:21:40,710 --> 00:21:45,410 was to allow staff to see that there's a united group of parents, kids, school board 366 00:21:45,410 --> 00:21:51,350 member, and the whole of the whole should be. Let them see that team working for times in the year. 367 00:21:51,530 --> 00:21:56,130 They're not easy. The three-hour sessions is working sessions. And then to come back and say, 368 00:21:56,130 --> 00:22:01,170 take some risk that align with getting us to this place, right? We want you to feel safe to do that. 369 00:22:01,910 --> 00:22:12,270 And then hopefully our staff will be willing to try those new initiatives and it also allows them to see consistent follow through when we report back on the work and what we're up to hopefully obtaining. 370 00:22:13,730 --> 00:22:21,970 So I just wanted to share that with you. I have a slide for questions, but the commitment would be four sessions between January and June. 371 00:22:22,070 --> 00:22:26,510 I will bring them to the December 13 meeting so that you can check your calendars. 372 00:22:27,030 --> 00:22:29,930 And so if you have any interest at all, maybe. 373 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:37,960 Just like kind of, you know, let us know in December, and then we can hopefully pick two people out of this group to some really support the work. 374 00:22:38,860 --> 00:22:39,780 That's that enough. 375 00:22:39,820 --> 00:22:40,500 Any questions? 376 00:22:45,530 --> 00:22:45,670 Great. 377 00:22:45,950 --> 00:22:47,410 Can we just see where it goes? 378 00:22:47,990 --> 00:22:49,030 Yeah, I'm excited about it. 379 00:22:49,070 --> 00:22:50,030 Thank you. 380 00:22:51,070 --> 00:22:51,850 Who is this guest? 381 00:22:52,770 --> 00:22:53,150 Yes. 382 00:22:53,150 --> 00:22:53,270 This is good. 383 00:22:53,790 --> 00:22:55,790 No, that's okay. 384 00:22:56,050 --> 00:23:03,130 So we meet on, I think, we have one meeting in December, so will we, I guess, talk about who's going 385 00:23:03,130 --> 00:23:08,070 do it that.
