What is this group doing?

The Strategic Planning Team (SPT), will update the RSU 16 Strategic Plan. The SPT will create a five-year strategic plan to include, at a minimum, statements of mission and core beliefs, with identified goals and actions for meeting those goals. The SPT will engage the community and staff in the planning process, will report on its progress at a School Board meeting each month, and will present a draft plan for the School Board’s review, input, and eventual approval.  To uphold transparency, a summary email detailing agenda items from each meeting will be distributed. The School Board reserves the authority to edit, approve, and distribute the Strategic Plan. 

Members: Todd Sanders, Amy Hediger, Erik Anderson, Jessica Madsen, D’Arcy Robinson, Angela Gilbert, Jen Gagnon, Brittany Hemond, Tarsha Downing, Bob Klar, Randy Lautz, Joe Parent, Mary Martin
