The GFW school board unanimously adopted a strategic plan Monday that will guide the district for the next five years. The plan was adopted on a motion by board member Mike Kuehn, seconded by Casey Prochniak. Conducting a strategic planning process was one of the goals introduced by Horton during his first 100 day plan, as a pledge of what the district would do following the operating levy which was supported by more than 60% of voters in August 2020. The process involved a number of ways for community members to be involved including several listening sessions with the superintendent that took place in each community, equity and district surveys to community members, staff, and students, and a strategic planning committee made up of almost 50 community members. The MSBA assisted in the development and facilitation of the planning process and provided guidance to the district throughout.
