Many districts face June deadlines for new or updated strategic plans. Make this moment more than completing a compliance task. Create an opportunity to build a plan that reflects the priorities, needs, and aspirations of the community you serve.
CLEE’s strategic planning support centers on stakeholder and community input from the start. Staff, students, families, and community members shape the vision, priorities, and actions through structured, efficient engagement. This approach builds shared responsibility and lasting buy-in, so the plan belongs to the community rather than living on a shelf.
“CLEE’s collaborative process has been key to our progress. CLEE has tools at every step to quickly gather input and feedback from students, parents, and staff. This collaboration allows me to fully listen and participate with stakeholders rather than being seen as the leader in the process. Importantly, the plan belongs to all of us.”
— Sheila Hoffman, Superintendent, Agawam Public Schools
CLEE facilitators guide a research-based process that keeps timelines on track while allowing leaders to focus on listening and learning. Over approximately four months, steering committees and community members work together to define goals, clarify actions, and establish outcomes that guide decision-making for the next three to five years and inform required district and school improvement plans.
If your district has a June deadline, now is the time to start. Contact Michelle to schedule a strategic planning conversation and secure support for the months ahead.
