The Cole District is embarking on an innovative journey with its strategic plan featuring 10 initiatives, 23 commitments, and 25 objectives.
New Focus Areas:
This plan, new to Cole, places a significant emphasis on student achievement, customer service, operational efficiency, and employee development.
Addressing Declining Enrollment:
With a declining enrollment trend, school consolidations have become a focal point. The district is targeting facilities that require repurposing or closure to streamline operations.
Expert Guidance and Committee Formation:
To navigate the complexities of facility closures, the board has enlisted the expertise of a guest presenter. Additionally, plans are underway to establish a dedicated committee for a more comprehensive approach to this pressing issue.
Importance of the 2021 Strategic Plan:
The 2021 strategic plan serves as a roadmap for the district, complete with Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to gauge success and inform decision-making processes. However, the fate of potential changes to the plan under the current board remains uncertain.
