1. Strategic Goal:  Recruitment and Retention

Identify and implement employment conditions critical to the recruitment and retention of a community of professional certified and classified staff.

 Considerations include starting wages for both certified and classified staff and ongoing recruitment need linked to turnover and the succession of experienced personnel.

2. Strategic Goal: Facility Planning and Funding

Develop a short- and long-range facility plan addressing aging infrastructure needs of the district with community input that establishes trust and support for bonds and levies.

 Considerations tied to the goal include building maintenance, outdate facilities (i.e., HS roof, locker rooms), and

Funding needs associated with community support and trust, and bonding and levy capacities tied to tax base.

3. Strategic Goal:  Programs and Curriculum

Align, focus, and implement systems of rigorous curriculum that support readiness at all grade levels and the competencies and characteristics identified in the District’s graduate profile.

Considerations include understanding of the kindergarten readiness of incoming students and the ongoing learning, developmental, and pedagogical needs of each K-12 student necessary to achieve content proficiencies based on effective instruction and use of assessments.

4. Strategic Goal:  Student Enrollment

Develop and manage relationships with early childhood programs (feeder programs) and homeschools to better promote learning opportunities while facilitating enrollment in LPS.

A primary consideration is the increase in the number of homeschool students (220 students) resulting in a significant loss is district budget authority. 

5.  Strategic Goal:  Student Support Services

Cultivate student support services, both in- and out-of-school, which support the academic, social, emotional, and physical needs to the optimal degree possible.

Consideration is focused on access to available support services (i.e., mental health) especially for our most at-risk students.
