Mission CISD has begun a Strategic Planning process with high engagement and community commitment. We are looking forward and planning strategically for our collective future. Strategic planning is engaging our community in defining the measurable outcomes for achieving our vision of “Mission CISD will prepare and inspire all students to be equipped to excel in the college and career of their choice, dominate 21st century skills in leadership, knowledge, language, and technology to compete in a global economy and serve as successful citizens in their community.”
WHAT’S HAPPENED SO FAR
So far, we have offered opportunities for stakeholders to provide input to a plan that represents our greatest strengths and taps our incredible potential. Our Studer Education coach has led:
- Collaborative planning of the key activities for the process.
- A kick-off event with the District Educational Improvement Committee introduced over 50 people to the planning process in Mission CISD.
- Engaged groups of students, parents, employees, leaders, community partners, our Board of Education, and teachers to discuss how they would define our vision, what’s working well in Mission CISD, and what could be improved. Nearly 100 people representing all levels of schools and departments participated in this process.
- Invited parents and families to participate in an anonymous, online Parent Satisfaction Survey between April 1 and April 30. Over 1000 parents have already participated in the survey.
- The Superintendent’s Cabinet has reviewed feedback from the focus group process and identified key measures of success and common themes for improvement in our strategic plan.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT
In the next 30 days, here’s what the community can expect:
- All employees will be invited to participate in an anonymous, online Employee Engagement Survey.
- Students in select grades will be invited to participate in an anonymous, online Student Engagement Survey.
- We will receive and analyze results from the stakeholder feedback surveys administered by Studer Education.
- With support from our Studer Education℠ coach, we will identify how stakeholders would define success in Mission CISD and what areas of strength and areas for improvement should be included in our strategic plan.
