Port Angeles School District seeks strategic plan input through community forum

PORT ANGELES — The Port Angeles School District will seek public input for its five-year strategic plan during a two-day community forum next month.

The forum will be at North Olympic Peninsula Skills Center, 905 W. Ninth St., from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, Dec. 3, and Saturday, Dec. 4.

Lunch will be provided.

“I realize this is a huge commitment of time, but the time will be well-spent,” Superintendent Jane Pryne said in a statement.

Kenneth Jones, State School Directors’ Association consultant, will lead the group discussion.

The forum’s findings will provide a basis for the district’s 22-member strategic planning steering committee work as the district develops a 2011-2015 plan.

Pryne said among the questions to be considered are:

• What do we want our schools to look like?

• How can we continue to provide a first-rate education to our children?

• Are there new opportunities we can provide our community? How can we do this with the resources provided locally, and on the state and national levels?

To RSVP for the forum or for more information, phone 360-565-3702.

Questions, comments and suggestions regarding the strategic planning process and its development may be e-mailed to info@portangelesschools.org or mailed to Superintendent Jane Pryne, Port Angeles School District, 216 E. Fourth St., Port Angeles, WA 98362.
