Strategic Planning 2022
Introduction
Beginning in the fall of 2022, Burnet CISD engaged in a Strategic Planning Process with the goal of creating a new plan to guide the work of the District for the next 5 years. The District had a prior Strategic Plan in place since 2017. The Strategic Planning Process consisted of the following meetings and planning actions:
Town Hall Meeting- Staff and community members were invited to learn about the Strategic Planning Process, and to provide input to the process by brainstorming and sharing strengths and challenges of the District. Feedback was also provided toward a District Graduate Profile.
Leadership Team- The District's Leadership Team met to analyze District data, conduct a root cause analysis, and develop focus areas called Strands for the Strategic Plan. Feedback was also provided toward a District Graduate Profile.
Steering Committee- The Strategic Planning Steering Committee met to develop the foundational elements of the District’s Strategic Plan which includes the District's Beliefs, Mission, Vision, and Strategic Goals based on the Strands developed by the Leadership Team. The Steering Committee was comprised of staff, students, parents, community leaders, and business leaders.
Action Planning Teams- District staff gathered by Strategic Goal to develop detailed action steps over the next 5 years toward the accomplishment of the Strategic Goal.
Board of Trustees- The Board was represented in the Strategic Planning Process by Board Secretary Earl Foster. The Board received two status reports during the process, with the opportunity to provide feedback, before formally approving the Strategic Plan.
The District would like to thank the over 70 people that participated in the strategic planning process that included students, staff, parents, community leaders, business leaders, and the Board of Trustees. Below you will find the foundational elements of the Burnet CISD Strategic Plan.
