Direct from the 9-R Website
The Durango School District website is running a very exciting announcement. Who wouldn't come be part of such an event? Thank you, Dr. Owen and staff for a bold invitation. This community is ready!
"Public education is trapped in a pattern of conflicting demands and difficult dilemmas that cannot be overcome by reforming unworkable systems. Only through a radically new approach of creating complete strategic systems can educational leaders create and maintain a system of learning that is worthy of all our students. On September 23rd, 2008, teachers, parents, students, and the community are all invited to a basic Strategic Planning Awareness Session to introduce our district to the Strategic Planning Process.
We will be exploring the need for change, discussing planning philosophies and the process of Strategic Planning and the most effective method of implementation. The Strategic Design allows for school districts and communities to facilitate their own plans, to extend the process throughout the schools, and to sustain continuous creation.
To develop this strategic plan, the school district needs parents, students, and community leaders as a whole to be involved; in other words, we need public input to be successful.
At this time, an evening session is planned for the community beginning at 6 p.m. on September 23. For more information, please contact the Public Information Office at 247-5411, ext 1440."
