Strategic Planning Team (SPT)

Meeting Summary
Feb 15, 2024

A Strategic Plan is a document that tells what the district wants to achieve in the future and how it plans to get there. In this first stage of work on this document revision, we need your input.  As you take this survey, please think about our district strengths, areas of growth and future next steps.

This survey will close on March 8.  We encourage you to share with people who reside or have a business in our three towns.

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
