Our schools are working hard every day to prepare students for their futures, and a key component of that process involves understanding where our community and the global community is heading. Staying on top of global workforce and higher education changes is complicated, and we subscribe to the notion that “it takes a village.”
To that end, we established a Strategic Planning Committee made up of Westlake leaders, including business, civic, higher education and clergy, along with parents and school officials, to help set the course for our schools for the next three to five years. This group expands upon the work completed by the Vision 20/20 committee. Some preliminary community research revealed our residents had a lot of questions and needed more opportunities to provide input and ask questions. We responded by expanding the group and expanding the scope.
The Strategic Planning Committee has been meeting to review academic and community research; discuss global and national employment and skill trends; analyze district facilities, finances and academics; and provide input and feedback. This group will help us determine next steps and work with us to finalize an outline for a strategic plan. The details of the strategic plan will be provided by school district professionals, using the outline and priorities established by the committee.
The framework that will be developed through is process will help ensure Westlake City Schools is staying on the right track and Educating for Excellence.
