STRATEGIC PLANNING PROJECT OVERVIEW

Purpose and Outcome
Purpose of the Strategic Plan:
• The Strategic Plan will function like a blueprint: It will outline a
vision for SCUSD in the future. It will also function like a
roadmap in providing steps necessary to attain the vision.
Outcome:
• A Strategic Plan that aligns closely with our Local Control and
Accountability Plan (LCAP), which pairs actions with resources.
• A Strategic Plan and LCAP that are feasible and sustainable,
reflect the voice of the community, and push the work of the
District so that all students are ready for college and career.

UNDERSTANDING THE STRATEGIC PLAN SURVEY
17
Strategic Plan Survey
• Additional copies of the draft Strategic Plan and survey are
available on paper or online.
• Translated versions are available in five languages:
– Spanish, Hmong, Vietnamese, Chinese and Russian
• As you complete the paper survey, make sure that you follow
the directions as closely as possible.
– For example, under each goal, each action should be given a different
priority number – you cannot rank all items with the same number.
• Surveys are anonymous, but if you would like to be added to
the Strategic Plan mailing list, you may include your email.
18
Strategic Plan Survey
• Feedback from the online surveys will submit automatically.
• Paper copies must be manually input by staff at the district
office. Please return them to the school office, and we will
send to the Serna Center Parent Resource Center.
• Please advocate! Encourage others to participate in the survey,
to learn more and to give feedback, attend community and
Board of Education meetings, and participate in school-site
meetings, as appropriate. If you know of high school students,
please encourage them to take the survey, too.
