As we approach 2018 we do so with traditional hopes and goals for the school district. These goals can be found in the form of our new strategic plan, 5X5. We focus on the number 5: 5 Star Quality, 5 strands in the plan, a 5 star rating for the district. We began the process in August with these three questions: What are you most proud of in our district? What would you like us to continue doing? What are our next steps and needs? We saturated the county with these questions and when we were finished we had collected over 750 responses. These responses were analyzed and 5 strands emerged including Technology, Academics, Human Resources, Community Engagement, and Facilities. In the Technology strand our 1:1 initiative is addressed. Our goal is to have all students grades 5-12 have their own devices. Included in this is to provide the instructional professional development for our teachers so that they have the knowledge of how to use these , not to replace their instruction
