Strategic Planning involves establishing and declaring our true aspirations for the future of our district. It begins by asking these questions:
What kind of a school district does Lancaster ISD want to be?
What does Lancaster ISD aspire to do as a school district?
What learning enterprise will Lancaster ISD include to best meet the needs of our students?
The process involves establishing our beliefs, our mission, objectives and strategies. Once these have been established, they become the filter by which decisions are made in an effort to avoid being driven by fads or other district’s choices.
The strategies are then developed into action plans with detailed operational steps of action for implementation of the plan toward accomplishing the mission.
