District Hosts Strategic Planning Workshop

District Hosts Strategic Planning Workshop
Posted on 04/16/2019

Parents, students, community leaders and educators gathered at Nan Ya Plastics Corporation on Monday, April 15, to participate in Florence County School District Three’s District annual Strategic Planning Meeting and help create an educational road map to prepare district graduates for college and careers.

The workshop is part of FCSD3’s annual improvement review process.

Superintendent Laura Hickson acknowledged that everyone wants excellent schools and successful students, but it takes everyone working together to make that vision a reality.

Participants reviewed the district mission and vision along with the district goals approved by the board of trustees and the district’s strategic plan goals.

The stakeholders’ groups discussed a list of eight guiding questions and recorded their answers. Questions included “What factors will drive change in education the next 10 years?”, “What changes or additions, if any, should be made to our current mission?” and “What can we as a staff and as students do to help keep our schools safe?”. Answers to each question were then presented to the entire group.

Participants also heard a presentation on the FCSD3’s Title I, Title II and Title III programs and how the district uses those federal funds. Those attending the meeting were asked for public input on the use of federal funds before the district submits federal grant applications for the 2019-2020 school year.
