Enid Public Schools is launching a strategic planning initiative that will involve students, educators, families and the entire community.
The school district is working with the Oklahoma State School Boards Association (OSSBA) and the K20 Center for Education Community Renewal at the University of Oklahoma to facilitate the Continuous Strategic Improvement (CSI) planning process, which has been used by other school districts throughout the state.
The strategic planning process will allow the district to build on its existing foundation of excellence by using a five-year action plan to improve and strengthen its services for students.
“Education is truly a community effort and through a five year strategic plan we can come together to better serve the students of Enid Public Schools,” said Dr. Dudley Darrow, Superintendent. “We look forward to working with our families and community members in planning our district’s future.”
The district will complete a school climate survey through October 17 to help identify strengths and opportunities for improvement and begin an in-depth examination of student achievement data. In the fall, the district will host a series of community forums and launch an online survey to receive input from all those with interest in Enid Public Schools.
On September 23, at 6:30 p.m. the district will host a community forum as well as take a deep dive into student achievement data to help inform our decisions for the future. The meeting will be held in the boardroom of the Administration Services Center, 500 S. Independence and the public are invited to attend.
“We are fortunate to have a generous community supporting our schools,” said Darrow. “We appreciate our families and community members taking the time to be involved in this process that will ultimately take our district to the next level.”
