Charting Our Future Course Laredo Independent School District’s strategic plan is based on the belief that we determine our schools’ future and the best education for our youth by involving the community in the planning process. This brings together all of our resources to achieve the district’s goals and to provide our students and future citizens the best possible education.We began in August 15, 1996, when the Laredo ISD school board made a commitment to strategic planning. A planning team of individuals from the schools and community participated in four days of discussion in October and November to outline the strategic plan and contribute ideas and opinions. Team members shared their vision for our students, schools, and community. They agreed on their shared values, mission, district goals, desired student outcomes, and critical issues. Team members looked at our schools in terms of what currently works well and what needs more attention. From this, members identified the critical issues which the school district should address as it moves forward in its improvement efforts. The next phase of our strategic planning began with the formation of action teams of community and school volunteers. They researched and studied the district’s goals, developed the best ideas and identified what actions would accomplish the goals. The results were presented to the school board on September 12, 1997. Once the action plans were approved, the next phase involved implementation teams. These teams developed operational plans describing how the best ideas would be implemented in the district, what the priorities should be, and what implementation schedule was best. The completed strategic plan was then presented to the school board in the Spring of 1998. To ensure that we keep the plan alive, we will involve the original planning team and members of the District Educational Improvement Council in an annual review to determine which of our actions have been successful and which need more attention. This intent, coupled with the use of the strategic plan by the district’s thirty campuses as their baseline guide, should facilitate LISD’s continuing improvement work record. We realize the best is yet to come, an expectation which the district’s strategic plan will facilitate and strengthen.
