C. STRATEGIC PLANNING FACILITATION PROPOSAL
Background: A proposal from Patron Insight regarding the facilitation of our next strategic plan will be reviewed. As stated previously, the superintendent would like for the larger community to have a greater voice in this process. In order to do this some outside assistance is required. As noted, the proposal includes a telephone survey. The District did this in-depth survey four years ago. The information is invaluable. This is a major expense to the project though. At this time it is for Board consideration only. After any questions are answered regarding the process a recommendation will be provided in January.
