Strategic Planning Process
PUBLIC OUTREACH
The district mailed postcards to every residence in Ridgewood to provide the community with background information on the strategic planning initiative. The postcard invited all stakeholders to engage in this initiative by completing a community survey and attending a public information session.

Who Was Involved
At the beginning of this process, a Strategic Planning Steering Committee was formed, and a diverse group of stakeholders was invited to serve on the Strategic Planning Council. Led by the TMI Education facilitators, these groups actively engaged in the Strategic Planning Initiative. Their thoughtful examination of the district in the areas of learning, teaching, culture, community, and governance resulted in authentic feedback. The input of these the Steering Committee and the Council was instrumental in the development of the structure and overarching goals of the Vision 2024 Strategic Plan.
