Strategic Plan

The North Clackamas School Board provided feedback on the draft Strategic Plan mission, vision, values and goals at the April 28 board meeting.  Staff incorporated feedback received by the Board into a revised draft. 
The North Clackamas School Board unanimously approved the new Strategic Plan at its May 12, 2022 board meeting.

Work continues on the development of the school district’s strategic plan, including update mission, vision, values, and goals.

All members of the North Clackamas Community were invited to share their experiences and their hopes and dreams for the school district here: (Link now closed)

Following the completion of the community survey and the discovery sessions held earlier in October, staff will analyze all information gathered during the discovery phase to identify an initial set of priorities moving forward.

These initial priorities will be shared with the North Clackamas School Board and the community in December/January.  Community members will be asked to provide feedback on the initial strategic plan components at that time.

Since starting the strategic planning process the following actions have taken place:

• multi-lingual strategic planning website launched
• messaging about strategic planning circulated broadly among stakeholders in multiple languages
• initial list of documents to review assembled as part of the district’s environmental scan 
• discovery focus group facilitation training held for culturally specific focus group facilitators
• visioning session held with the NCSD Executive Administrative team
• draft staff, parent and community survey developed and translated for circulation in late October
• eighteen discovery focus groups with representatives from a variety of student, parent, staff, community, and business groups scheduled in October

On October 14, 2021, the school board is scheduled to receive an update on the strategic planning process and two presentations that will inform the new Strategic Plan: 

1. A report based on what student’s have shared about their experiences in North Clackamas Schools.  This will focus on Youth Truth data gathered from students in Spring 2021.
2. A presentation focused on future workforce needs entitled “Future Ready Clackamas.” The presenters will be from Clackamas Workforce Partnership.

A survey will be launched during the last week of October to gather information about what parents, staff, community leaders, business leaders and others in the community see as strengths, challenges and future opportunities for the school district.  The survey link will be added here during the last week of October.

Every organization needs a map to advance from where it is now to where it wants to be in the future. North Clackamas School District’s map is its District Strategic Plan. The district’s Mission, Strategic Direction, Goals and Objectives are key components of the Strategic Plan.

North Clackamas School District last underwent a Strategic Planning process in the 2017-2018 school year and the current Strategic Plan is in place through the end of the current school year. A three-phase process has been designed to develop the next Strategic Plan over the course of the 2021-2022 school year.

All of the resources created around the development of the next strategic plan will be centralized here so that students, parents, community organizations, District employees, and other stakeholders can follow along as the development process unfolds over the next several months.
