Ceres Unified School District Strategic Plan 2011-2012

Vision Statement (what we strive to do):

C E R E S

Committed to Excellence, Responsive to Every Student Mission Statement (what we plan to accomplish): Our students will achieve mastery of academic standards in a safe and supportive environment. We will provide a quality, balanced education that results in academic excellence, and career preparation with attitudes and skills necessary to produce self-directed, productive citizens. Strategic Goals (not prioritized):

Student Services: Design, implement, evaluate, and improve programs and services to support success for all students.

Curriculum and Instruction: Design, implement, evaluate, and improve instructional programs to ensure every student meets the district standards.

Personnel: Recruit, select, educate, and retain the highest quality staff. Technology: Equip, educate, and support students and staff with appropriate technology. Facilities: Provide a safe, clean, and attractive environment that promotes student learning and fosters

student, staff, and community pride. Parent and Community Partnerships: Design, implement, evaluate, and improve partnerships that support

high quality education for every student. Educational Options: Design, implement, evaluate, and improve quality educational options for students,

parents and the community. Strategic and Financial Planning: Design, implement, evaluate, and improve a process to ensure that

human and financial resources are allocated in alignment with the strategic plan. Evaluation Criteria: Every objective will have an evaluation criterion. We agreed that:

Key objectives for the district/schools will be measured against similar districts/schools with similar goal areas.

We will set targets for key objectives to be the top performer, among districts with similar demographics. Evaluation of schools will reflect the performance assessments of students on the State NRT/STAR

Assessment, State Academic Performance Index (API) and the High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE). Each school will be expected to meet or exceed site, district, and state growth targets.

All High Schools will receive the maximum possible WASC accreditation. Staff training shall be integrated as an activity that supports a specific objective. The three distinct types of

staff training will be: 1) induction training for new staff in the district; 2) implementation training of a new program or procedure being put into practice within the district; and, 3) continuing of training for individuals to improve their performance as it relates to the objectives for their site, department or grade level.

District level staff will provide support, coordination, and monitoring for those primarily responsible for each objective.

Key Activities: Key Activities will be addressed through Action Plans to be developed by department and sites and subject to approval by Cabinet and Board. Annual Strategic Plan Implementation Steps:

Cabinet/Sites/Departments: Develop evaluation criteria for each objective, subject to approval of the Board of Trustees.

Cabinet/Sites/Departments: Define specific targets for all appropriate evaluation criteria, subject to approval of the Board of Trustees.

Sites/Departments: Develop Action Plans including activities necessary to achieve objectives. Board: Define financial management model.

Ceres Unified School District

The Ceres Unified School District Strategic Plan, adopted by the Board of Trustees, is the management plan for the District. The following is a description of the purpose, components, definitions, process, and timeline related to the plan. The Strategic Plan has three main purposes. First, the plan defines the District’s vision, mission, and strategic goals. Second, the plan details how the District will achieve those goals. Third, the plan serves as the common tool for managing changing priorities, as indicated by the ordering of the objectives. All District decisions should reflect the priorities of the Strategic Plan. The components of the Strategic Plan are defined below:

VISION What the District is striving to do.

MISSION

What the District will accomplish by the end of the five-year Strategic Plan.

STRATEGIC GOALS Actions to be completed by District and site staff.

OBJECTIVES

Actions by District and site staff to achieve the strategic goals.

EVALUATION CRITERIA Measurement of how the school and district will assess their annual progress against the objectives.

ACTION PLANS and PROJECT ACTIVITIES

Administrated by the Superintendent, Action Plans are the specific plans which must be completed by each school to achieve the specific objectives.

The implementation of the Strategic Plan follows a yearly update cycle to ensure that the plan reflects the priorities defined by the Board of Trustees. Implementation of the Strategic Plan continues throughout the year and is evaluated, analyzed, and revised annually. District-wide Evaluation Considerations: Evaluation of schools will reflect the performance assessments of students utilizing State assessment data. Each school will be expected to meet or exceed site, district, and state growth targets. Key objectives for the district/schools will be measured against districts/schools with similar demographics. Questions regarding the Strategic Plan should be directed to the Superintendent.
