Strategic Plan and Superintendent Search Survey

The Palm Beach County School Board is working through several challenges including seeking a Superintendent of Schools. As part of the process of working through these opportunities, the Board seeks to create and adopt a vision statement for the school district and a leadership vision statement that would assist in the superintendent selection process. It is important the School Board have an aspirational vision with an operational mission. From these statements, planning efforts may begin, be measured and progress reported. The Collins Center for Public Policy (www.collinscenter.org) is working with the Palm Beach County School District to assist in developing:

• A vision for the school district

• A mission for the school district

• A leadership vision statement for the superintendent search; and

• A strategic plan to be implemented by the new school superintendent and administration.

The School Board met in July to workshop these items. Below are the results of that meeting. We ask that you review and comment on the results. Your input will help us in developing a final report to the School Board.

VISION STATEMENT - It is important to keep in mind that the Vision Statement is to be aspiring and indicative of where you want to see the community in which you operate.

Palm Beach County is a dynamic, ethical, cooperative community where lifelong learning offers everyone the opportunity to compete in the global economy.

LEADERSHIP VISION FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT - The following paragraph highlights the qualities and attributes that you desire in the next superintendent of schools. The Palm Beach County Superintendent of Schools is responsible for administering the Palm Beach County School District at the policy direction of the Palm Beach County School Board. In this role, it is critical to balance managing a policy-making Board with the administration of the district. The Superintendent should be a strong, caring, ethical, creative and honest leader with strong decision-making and communication skills. A team builder, the Superintendent is visionary and willing to take risks to create a school system worthy of Palm Beach County by establishing and strengthening partnerships with business, civic and social community assets. It is preferred that the Superintendent have business experience in addition to having a robust educational administration background. The Superintendent should have a solid understanding of and be able to address racism. All while possessing mother wit.

BOLD STEPS - The following Bold Steps are identified as priorities by the School Board. Implementing strategies to realize these goals is vital to success.

The Superintendent and school district administration should be prepared to execute the strategic plan of the district. Specifically, immediate focus should be placed on the following:

• Engage all stakeholders

Students
Families
Employees – including teachers, non-instructional staff and administrators
Businesses
Communities

• Support each student – not as a collective unit. Follow, monitor, mentor, provide support Be equitable – helping each student achieve the greatest success possible

• Embrace a concept that empowers and educates parents. Engage parents who are otherwise not supporting students from families that may need special attention:

- With school-based teams

- Awareness/touching base

– 'check their eyes'

- Creating a network for social, emotional and behavioral support

- Tapping community assets including seniors

• Retool budget for allocation to meet the individual needs of students

– no more than 15% across the board cuts

– be analytical about how to allocate limited funds.

• Functional audit - what are we doing? How many are we serving? How much are we spending? Redistribute responsibilities. Have accountability by division – measurable goals and reported
