Review Progress of Tasks
Visionary – S. Wilson and H. Blumenthal made final edits. S. Wilson will forward tomorrow.
Academics – H. Bunn stated her group was finished with goals/metrics, outcomes/outputs. Believes there should be more conversation from the Academics department at school level.
Strategy & Governance – All areas are complete
Sustainability – S. Wilson to complete and forward to Marisol.
L. Johnson stated that the sooner assignments are completed the better. Hopefully, the packet will be done by end of March and can possibly be approved by the Board at the April meeting.
Areas still remaining are the Values portion. Hopefully, assignments will be done by Insignia’s requested time.

Communications around Strategic Planning
Some questions that have come up are concerns that money could have been spent elsewhere within the school versus hiring Insignia. Also that the mission statement had too much fluff. Other concerns H. Bunn mentioned, were around uncertainty, teachers are eager for more information, the unknown once the document is completed.
D. Deno and A. Anderson mentioned that S. Wilson has been mentioning the Strategic Plan within his newsletters. D. Deno also mentioned that S. Wilson had given an overview in one of the faculty/staff PD’s. H. Blumenthal mentioned that staff & faculty/ Board members and the community have had ample opportunity to come to the strategic committee meetings and to be a part of the process. H. Bunn asked if the Board planned on doing a roll-out of the plan. H. Blumenthal stated that the Plan would be presented at a Board meeting and that S. Wilson will decide how/when to present the plan to the school and parents.
