Strategic Plan Summary Document
Submitted for Board approval by the Michigan Association of School Boards January 2016.
Letter from the Board President and Superintendent
Breckenridge Community Schools 2016-2020 Strategic Plan: Participants Help Shape the Vision and Goals for the Future of Breckenridge Community Schools.
This document contains the 2016-2020 Breckenridge Community Schools Strategic Plan. We’re excited about this plan and the possibilities it provides for our students, parents/guardians and community to improve education at Breckenridge Community Schools.
Community, parent/guardian, students and staff forums and an electronic survey resulted in 620 people providing input for the planning process. A Strategic Planning Team of 37 community members, parents/guardians, staff and students participated in an all-day planning retreat on November 21, 2015 and developed the District’s strategic goals.
Throughout the planning process the community expressed high expectations of Breckenridge Community Schools becoming a world class school district and having all students graduate college and career ready from high school. Even though some of the goals are extremely high, they reflect the strong desire that has been expressed to embrace significant change and dramatically improve the school system.
There were several clear and consistent themes that emerged from this process.
1. While much more work needs to be done; Breckenridge Community Schools is headed in the right direction with positive momentum behind the academic growth and instructional reforms.
2. The future of growth and success of Breckenridge Community Schools must be a top community priority that requires support from all stakeholders (students, parents/guardians, taxpayers, businesses, non-profits, foundations, government agencies, etc.).
3. As a district, we must do a better job of positively engaging and aligning internal (students, parents/guardians, staff and the school board) and external (taxpayers, community organizations, businesses, non-profits, government agencies, elected officials) stakeholders around common goals and objectives to significantly improve academic achievement.
We look forward to continuing to work in partnership with all sectors of our community to implement these goals and suggested objectives.

Introduction
Strategic Planning is the process of determining what an organization wants to be at some point in the future, and how it will get there. In
the current environment where schools are challenged to do more with scarce resources, planning for the future is more important than
ever. An effective strategic planning process results in stakeholders focusing on critical priorities that will meet the mission of a quality
educational program for all students.
In July of 2015 the Breckenridge Community Schools Superintendent and the Board of Education made a commitment to create a three
to five-year strategic plan. The School Board entered into a partnership with the Michigan Association of School Boards to serve as
facilitators for this project. The district, under the leadership of the School Board President and Superintendent, completed a process that
was data-driven, inclusive of district stakeholders and focused on the priorities that will help the district succeed.
There were several criteria relative to the strategic planning process established by the School Board and the leadership team:
• The process must be inclusive where all stakeholders have an opportunity to provide structured input.
• The School Board must be an integral part of the process providing input, support and commitment.
• There must be clarity in the respective roles of the School Board, administrators, staff, parents/guardians and community.
• There is alignment between the strategic planning process and current strategic initiatives, and critical issues facing the district.
• Timelines, responsibilities and reporting schedules must be built into the planning processes.
• There must be ongoing communication about the planning process with all internal and external stakeholders.
This strategic plan is a living document. It will serve as a ‘road map’ to future planning, resource allocation, staff development and
decision-making over the next several years.
As part of the planning process, the mission, vision and belief statements were reviewed and updated. Based on qualitative and
quantitative data and with new mission, vision and belief statements, strategic goals and objectives were developed. Regular monitoring
of progress and renewal is critical to the plan’s success.

The Strategic Plan Process
This overview describes the planning process, including the survey, data analysis, planning team roles and responsibilities, and timelines.
Stakeholder Input
Input from students, parents/guardians, community and staff were gathered through a comprehensive electronic survey as well as a series of community, student and staff forums. The community engagement process was conducted to:
• Identify and assess strengths • Gauge values and perceptions of the community • Provide an opportunity for input • Identify areas for improvement • Gather data to use as a decision making tool • Develop communication plans and tools
The response rate of 620 indicates that the school community cares about the future of the district and desires to engage in the process of creating the future (see Attachment 1 for input summary).

Local Area and School Demographic Data
An analysis of district demographics and quantitative data was completed. The analysis included demographic, enrollment, educational, financial and personnel trends over the previous five years (2009-2013) in comparison with districts selected by the Board and Administration and state averages, where available (see Attachment 2 for the data analysis summary). The reference districts used for Breckenridge Community Schools are Carson City-Crystal Area Schools, Coleman Community Schools, Merrill Community Schools, St. Louis Public Schools, and Vestaburg Community Schools.
Strategic Planning Team
A Strategic Planning Team was formed to take a primary role in developing the strategic plan. The team, consisting of 37 parents/ guardians, community members, board members, students and staff members, was selected with input from the Board of Education and key stakeholder groups. The team participated in a retreat workshop to develop a renewed mission, vision, belief statements and strategic goals. During the retreat the team reviewed and discussed relevant quantitative and qualitative data as essential elements in the formation of goals and objectives contained in this document (see team members on page 6).

Collaborating with the Breckenridge Community Schools Board of Education, administration, staff and the entire community really illustrated their level of care for the school, the community, and
most of all, the students.
