Colon Schools Strategic Plan 2023-2028: Updated/Approved Version from October 11, 2024 Board Meeting
PDF VERSION of Updated Strategic Plan
The Colon Community Schools Strategic Plan, approved in April 2023 and last updated in October 2024, is designed as a dynamic, data-driven document that supports continuous improvement across four key areas: Facilities, Student Learning and Achievement, Human Resources, and Financial Resources. This plan integrates community and staff feedback, academic performance data, and district goals to ensure alignment with student needs and district growth. Key updates in Fall 2024 include the addition of a “Progress/Timetable” column in response to feedback, major goals such as curricular improvements in social studies, science, and mathematics based on Spring 2024 data, and specific benchmarks to support mental health, staff retention, and teacher development. Recent surveys from staff and the community provided further insights, leading to changes that prioritize areas such as expanding facilities access, enhancing support for new teachers, and creating a structured curriculum revision schedule. As part of the strategic review, the district also highlighted staff and student celebrations, revised engagement efforts, and adjusted resource allocation, particularly in non-athletic programming and school infrastructure. This collaborative process, involving both the board and the community, aims to ensure the district’s mission of fostering a supportive and successful educational environment for all.
