Strategic Planning Session I

May 02, 2019

A small (but mighty) group met in the BCS cafeteria for our 1st Strategic Planning Session. Our first task was to clarify the definition of a Strategic Plan and why we need one.

What is a Strategic Plan?

A strategic plan is a document used to communicate our goals, the actions needed to achieve those goals, and all of the other critical   elements needed to support the plan, such as resources, funding, technology, facilities, and personnel. 

Why a Strategic Plan?

To ensure that we are making decisions that support our VISION and MISSION. “If you don’t know where you’re going, then you’ll probably end up somewhere else.”

 

Our Vision describes what we want for our students in the future

 “Preparing the students of today for the world of tomorrow!”

 

Our Mission identifies what we do in the present to realize our vision. BCS staff members participated in an exercise on their first day back to school in August, 2018. This draft Mission Statement includes key terms and ideas that resonated within the group.

“Our mission is to create a school environment in which students are heard, cared for, and valued as individuals, with access to the tools and technologies that will prepare them for success in life. We will strive to develop critical-thinkers and problem-solvers who can advocate for themselves and their communities, and seek out opportunities that help them realize their personal dreams.” [DRAFT]
